@@VolguusZildroharWhy does that for some reason remind me of when Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride opened in Universal Studios Florida, people were waiting hours in line to go on the ride, and one random guy who was hot and exhausted started chanting "IMHOTEP, IMHOTEP, IMHOTEP" and everyone else in line followed suit lol. For HOURS people stood in line chanting Imhotep's name lol. Just like his crowd of entranced followers in the film lol.
Also, the opening shot with the Engineer was on Earth, implying that the death of the Engineer, his DNA mutated by whatever he consumed, was the source for life on Earth; us in particular.
@@markwebster7435 The Engineer did the explaining, that they're going to destroy their creation. Other wise they would have no clue we existed in the vast universe. "But we see the wall paintings of them trying to teach the Children of earth." Engineers were a Xenophile Faith race, and when they seen their creation turn away from maybe there own belief's. = Under a Xenophile Faith system, it would mean time for change or death. Have to remember Directors don't know, or remember their own work after awhile. Some directors even the one's that never wrote the story, like to make claims of things that the writer never added. When this crap happens, we get movies that have things out of place or incorrect lore.
@@markwebster7435 he can state all he wants even to make the claim the Xenomorph is Gay and likes flowers. We have directors today making claims certain character's are this, and that without permission from the writers. "Harry Potter is such a movie a director is making verbal claims about certain kids even though the writing says no." The fact is in the start of the movie, It shows them on earth at the start of their creation on all the "wall paintings". Scott did not write the movie or even do any of the screenplay. He only directed from the written script. Would be like me directing a superman movie then after i'm done i make the claim well superman is really a girl or evil. We also know even from the middle of the movie, they created what's on earth at the start. Scott directed a 1 min part of O Bannon's script of the engineer talking calmly with the humans till they made the claim we're gods. Even at the end of the movie i guess Scott forgot he added it in the movie. = Shaw tells David, They created us and i want to know why they hate us so much. The reason Shaw doesn't have the answer to her why is because she couldn't understand what the engineer was saying in the sleep room, during the engineers asking why do you think you deserve it. This part should have been left out due to the editing cut of what the Engineer said to them in the sleep chamber room. If Scott edited out the wall paintings and the ending part of Shaw's talk to David, Then Scotts words would be more correct. Like i said if the director is not the writer, You tend to not remember what you allowed in or not. I even seen a version of this movie for TV, where they cut out the wall paintings. This version would fit more with Scott's words, but we still have Shaw's knowledge of what the engineer said "about creation" to them at the start.
@@group-music Yeah! like i always say: If your not the main writer and only the director, you will have no clue what the intentions of the story or aspect of the character was years later. Directors today want to be in the now crowd, and will say anything about their movie to fit in with the interviewer. If Scott was the writer, then i would say he has the right to say anything about it. "but he wasn't". As you have seen, many directors come back to their old movies, and make claims on everything to Fit todays now crowd. This happens more often with directors that never scripted, or wrote the story = "they have no clue"
This movie is severely underrated. The biggest gripe about this film when it came out was how stupid the characters were. Now, after the clusterfuck that was 2020 and beyond, we are all now aware that people are just stupid in general and so Prometheus ain’t that bad.
Yeah, for me its like, they're scientists there to do science things but no scientific or critical thought was to be had before even going to the planet or into the structure lol. That said, I am one of the ones that like this movie.
It’s the biggest waste of a movie of all time overshadowed by a senile director. How it got given the green light after shooting is a complete disgrace.
Yeah, way to much hate. It has so many good scenes. Especially visually, but also the world building is nice. Alien has never looked that good and was that flawless regarding camera work and pacing. Yeah, they all signed up for a mission they didn't know what to do. But this is a minor flaw which could be easily explained. The stupid scientists in the spaceship are different. They are just stupid. But it's a really cool death scene. Everything else... I don't know where is the problem.
I should point out that xenomorphs already exist at this point, BEFORE the birth of the Deacon xenomorph from the Engineer's chest. The Xenomorph was shown above in the tapestry in the room with the giant head on the Engineer's ship.
I was just about to say that. There are videos on RU-vid that goes into the lore of the Aliens through the films, comics and games that explain the different types of Xenomorphs.
Correct. Xenomorphs are the Designated default outcome form of the black goo when it is activated as a bioweapon. But not used for the other engineer work of planet seeding. It is a multi purpose tool with various presets.
That wall tapestry is unused material from the original script of prometheus, in which engineers worshipped the original opaque translucent white benevolent alien, its blood had capabilities of making the engineers be able to reproduce asexually, yes, the intro scene where the engineer drinks something is the original alien blood (not the black goo), later on the original alien died presumably of old age and engineers ran out of the original blood, so they create the black good, a synthethic version, of course it didnt work thr same as the original as it just mutates stuff into sadistic aliens, my head cannon is that original prometheus script is so much better. Engineers didnt know where the original alien came from too, it is alien even for them
@@fbtdcfbygb1385not quite. The blood of the demon is golden. If you see the shot where the egineer drinks the liquid, it is golden. The black goo is a weapon, through and through. Though it's supposed to be dropped from air and become a mist like thing as we see in the second movie. The engineers were disgusted at mankind for being so hateful and brutal.
The lead actress is an amazing talent from Sweden, Noomi Rapace. She was in the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the other two films that make up The Millennium Trilogy, as the female lead. I highly recommend reacting to the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - an amazing film. If you enjoy it, the other films are The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
The ship where the eggs where found in Alien and Aliens was Moon LV-426, while Prometheus takes place in Moon LV-223. They are in the same sector but they are not the same place, because the ships in LV-223 had the black goo.
@@tophers3756 Not the same system. The distance to LV 223 was given on screen as about 34 light years. LV 426 as per Alien, is about 39 light years away, around Zeta Reticuli. LV 223 could be around Gliese 81, and both of those stars feature on a map from a 1950s UFO abduction story, which is also the same map used in this movie.
Leviticus 22 : 3 "Say to them: ‘For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the Lord, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the Lord."
Now THIS REACTION IS ALL I NEEDED! You got the DNA part of the Black Goo immediately which is something not too many out there get at first. This movie, for me, is Hard and Mature Sci Fi as very few contents dare to have out there, and is so refreshing seeing people who not only got it, but liked it. Also, let me put it like this: Alien series themes Alien = Old Dark House Movie Aliens = Military Action Alien3 = Industrial Religious thriller Alien Resurrection = Campy and funny sci fi Prometheus = Hard Sci Fi film Alien Covenant = Mad Scientist film
hard sci fi , lol, it's a terrible movie, a pretentious pile of illogical garbage that should be renamed 'retards go to space'. I've never seen a movie with so many scenes that make the eyes roll. the sharknado series have better scripts.
Regardless of the partly good effects and the one or other acting performance, the plot is an absolute disaster, the actions of the characters completely nonsensical, completely brainless! What kind of scientist takes off his helmet in an unknown, unexplored environment and then screams with joy? You can't see past that!
So theres a version of this movie called the Chaos Edition, which adds in a lot of cut scenes and adds dialog and extra scenes that were scripted, but not used. Goes into more detail about the egineers. When the ripped man drinks the liquid, he speaks to an elder before this. He says something ljke, "this is the blood of our god. We have lost the ability to procreate, but this blood allows us to create in our image. You are chosen." When david speaks to the engineer, he says something along the lines of "this man(wayland) want you to grant him immortality" The egineer asks why he should do this. David replies with what wyland tells him, "i have created life (david) and reshaped worlds. Gods dont desrrve to die". The girl asks why they wanted to kill humans. In the script the egineer says something like, "humanity lost its way and we came down and took a child of earth and took him back to our world. Wr taught him the value of life, beauty and how to best live. Love in your hearts. We sent him back to your world to teach you, and you killed him for it." Weyland then orders one of his men to hit her and the engineer is digusted by this. He admires david for a moment then kills him and the other humans he can. Theres a much deeper aspect of this movie that was cut. Its a shame
They definitely should’ve kept that in would’ve been more impactful than the engineer just automatically killing them and never answering the question.
The problem a lot of fans had with this movie was that they just wanted another ALIENS movie. Basically, they wanted the series to go in he same direction other horror franchises went which is just endless copies of one another. If they had their way, we’d be on ALIENS 12 or some nonsense like that. Ridley wanted to explore the world itself of ALIEN, because like he said, it’s not even really a scary creature anymore. You’ve already explored its entire life cycle and what it can do, so why try to add more to it when you’d just be adding dead weight? You’d just be diluting what already is considered the ultimate horror creature. He is correct, the world itself is so much more interesting and available to explore. The one complaint I have honestly is just that Ridley took H.R. Geiger’s designs of the ship and ‘jockey’ from the first film, ALIEN, and tried to make them more literal. In the firs film, the creature in the chair is clearly some being that was born and fused into the ‘chair’ and was intended to be a bio organic organism, not a human looking being in a suit. The ship itself is perhaps more egregious, since it’s clearly not anything like a ship. It was intended to be something disturbing and really nothing else. It’s just a giant metaphor. The sequel, ALIEN: Covenant is sadly two movies in one and should have been two films. You’ll see what I mean when you watch it. Don’t get me wrong, I like Prometheus and Covenant, but the reception of Prometheus didn’t sit well with studio execs, so they forced Ridley to add more elements from ALIEN into Covenant. Unfortunately, that leads to quite a bit of confusion later on and it strains the narrative Ridley was trying to spin without the Xenomorph really being a part of his films. I won’t comment on what the 3 films should have all been, because it would be spoiling Covenant, but I will then. I’d recommend looking into the original film script where you actually get to see the Engineer speaking to David and explaining why they were returning to wipe all life from Earth. It’s a really good scene and only part of it was shot and not included in the theatrical release. Basically, the Engineers kept coming to Earth after humans evolved from the primordial soup they created using one of their own. Each time, they saw humans on the brink of destruction at their own hands and tried stop us from continuing the cycle of violence. The last time they came, they took a boy with them and returned him to Earth after teaching him their ways. But, even then with their teachings instilled in a man that placed a higher value on life and unity as one - we killed him. This is a direct Jesus reference and makes sense as Jesus was said to he able to magically heal the wounded and other sorts of things that would be otherworldly. That was the final straw, which times itself with the time the Engineer went into cryo sleep which was 2000 years before Prometheus. We would call this the period immediately before After Christ and the Engineer slept 2000 years until being awoken by David. As we know, that mission to come and punish man for its crimes never occurred. The most likely reason for wanting to destroy humanity is that they feared one day they’d traverse the stars and bring their war and destruction into space - a sin that the Engineers would be responsible for creating.
Your, absolutely right. Especially the part with the "fans wanted more alien". What is so boring. And some people said, that with Prometheus approach, Alien lost a lot of It's mystery, what I highly disagree with. As long as a world doesn't explore too much without creating more mysteries, it's pretty fine to solve some of the previous mysteries. It's kinda the opposite, it makes a universe rich. Enhances it.
Go watch the illustrated and narrated version of At The Mouth of Madness by Lovecraft. After, probably before, you’re going to see what Scott envisioned for ALIEN. I watched it last night high, really high, and now I’m terrified.
I have a movie recommendation for you to react to: THE THING (1982), a great classic of body horror films, with striking, tense and brutal moments, you'll enjoy it
To order a drink “Up” (straight up) is to have it served cold, shaken or stirred with ice, but strained into the glass with no ice in the glass. Martinis are an example of a drink that’s served straight up. “Dirty” means you want olives, and if “Extra Dirty,” olive juice, in your Martini. “Bruised” is when a beverage is shaken too long and the spirits becomes cloudy and dilute. “Neat” is when spirits are poured straight from a bottle into a glass without ice or mixer. A warm brandy or Cognac is served neat. “Rocks” obviously means the drink is poured over ice in the glass. A vodka rocks, or Scotch on the rocks, are examples. A “twist” means you want a twist of lemon on/in your drink. “Big” and “doubled” mean you want a drink that is double what a typical serving is. A standard serving of alcohol can be 1.5-2 ounces per beverage. Ordering a shot/etc with “a couple of fingers” means you’re ordering a drink with two ounces of alcohol, or “three fingers,” three ounces of alcohol. “Give me a tequila, couple of fingers, neat.” Means I want two ounces of tequila in a glass with no junk in it. OMG, tequila, ta-kill-ya! My favorite is,,, was rye whiskey, big, neat. I loved rye’s bite. Similar to the bite corn whiskey has. I loved straight corn moonshine. I miss it, had to give it up though.
This is an excellent sci-fi movie. If you want more about it, there are a bunch of videos out there on things like what the engineer said to David, an extended version of that opening scene, more from the scenes in which the engineer enters the shuttle, etc. They cut a lot.
I just don't get the hate this movie still receives. The score the ambience & the insanely good acting also just the whole atmosphere of the planet are all unique & pretty well executed & far better than aliens too. This is my 2nd fav aliens movie. I can't wait for the 3rd one coming
I know this movie was often criticized but I absolutely loved it. I wish more would have been shown subsequently about the Engineers. It's a promising concept, too bad that in Alien Covenant another direction was prioritised. I also think that visually this movie is gorgeous.
I watched your Alien Covenant review and the chat about David being in love with Liz Shaw.. and i know she obviously put him back together and repaired him in Covenant but it makes sense David was in love with her now.. and its right here at the end of this film. She says she doesn't want to go back... she's on a journey to find out more about the Engineers and whats going on... and in a way thats kind of what David is searching for.. answers.. he wants to go down the rabbit hole and he sees that with her and i think its a part of what makes him love her? or at least it was till he went full last-man-on-planet-psycho in Covenant and made some absolutely psychopathic egg facehugger alien critters and grew some wheat for teh lulz. Theres a bunch of theories online and some great vids discussing it... i totally agree with your theory at the end.. i think the Engineers are disgusted by the creation of humans.. maybe that had something to do with our creation to begin with and we're just an accident or a path of their engineering evolution that just didn't pan out as expected. I think they planned to return and clean up... maybe eradicate the population at some point and begin again.
The ending creature is a Deacon is a Xenomorph. The substance is shown to have both destructive and life-giving properties in the prologue of the movie (where the engineer sacrifices himself), and based on comments from Ridley Scott, the substance is believed to be a catalyst for evolution. When exposed to it, a living subject's DNA appears to rapidly change. In the case of the worms, they are transformed into snake-like creatures, the engineer who ingests it is deconstructed and his DNA in turn creates new life. In Holloway's case, we do not see the outcome as he is killed by Vickers. It is possible that he is "evolving" -- or that he is breaking down similar to the engineers.
Also in covenant in deleted scenes David explained the substance i.e black goo to be unbelievably chaotic and it's algorithm based on evolutionary computing making itself essentially a form of radical AI.
I remember not liking this movie when I watched it when it come out... But I can't take away from actors, bc they are great, like dream cast... But I totally didn't feel the story, especially part in cave and with eggs... And decision made by the characters are questionable... So let's see how it will go now watching with you guys.
This is the best prometheus reaction I think I’ve ever watched, u guys reminded me of my own hypothesizing during my first watch so much! Good job understanding this one so well, not easy!
So fun facts: The Scottish lady (Kate Dickie) in the ship is none other than Lysa Arryn from Game of Thrones. And Ravel (Emun Elliott) the dark haired guy on the ship played a bard in Game of Thrones, Joffrey had his tongue removed in the Throne Room. Millburn (Rafe Spall) has been in all of Blood and Cornetto Trilogy : Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End.
It's been too long since I've rewatched this and the cast is absolutely stacked! I always appreciated the broad ideas explored in it and I just love the way Ridley Scott directs. The way he makes the most of advances in practical and special effects to make such a beautifully horrific movie. There's a spectacle to it that borders on camp in an enjoyable way. Full of flawed interesting characters, traumatising deaths and such a distinct aesthetic. David's definitely the MVA of this one lol. The way you guys notice everything and have such witty comments and jokes made this so fun to watch. Can't wait to see what you think of Covenant (I think that's the next one)
Great reaction guys! Love Prometheus, right up there with the first two films. The scene with Shaw "delivering" her baby, is arguably the second best shocking and original moments as the chest-burster scene.
Hi and Happy Holidays, Gentlemen! Great reaction, as usual. This was a very special movie...however, it could've and should've been more special. The deleted scenes from Prometheus really add on more epicness. The problem with the sequel to this film (ALIEN: Covenant) is, it basically sidesteps a lot of the set-up and characterization from this movie, and, by Ridley Scott's own admission, alters the culprits of the creation of The Xenomorph. BTW: The film's opening was shot in Iceland (I believe), where the landscape looks very alien in comparison to the rest of Earth. I believe some of Star Wars has been filmed there, as well...or photography of it has been used for The Volume/StageCraft. The planet in this film supposedly really exists, Zeta Reticuli. That star system has been a focus of attention by astrophysicists, astronomers, and Ancient Astronaut Theorists, since The 2000s. P.S. Many viewers (correctly) theorized, based on hints from Ridley and the main writer of the film, that the reason The Engineers were returning to Earth, to destroy it, was because of the death of Jesus (the Juggernaut's flight data revealed that the ship was on its way to Earth just over 2000 years ago, before the outbreak of their creation). He was a special being created by them, and his death was proof that The Engineers' best creation wasn't worthy of The Messiah. Also, the original concept was that humans are created through part of the ALIEN DNA; only the creatures We came from were not volatile; and they had long since gone extinct. It was The Engineers who found the DNA, adding it on to humans. Ironically, human DNA is the perfect cousin to the original bipedal creature...so, when We see the first Xenomorph in ALIEN, it's very representative of what it looked like, before its race perished, and The Engineers decided to create with their remaining DNA. The mural on the ceiling of the chamber with the giant head, shows the creation and growth cycle of their version of the Xenomorph; however, the sculpture that Charlie and David see, represents that actual creature, before it went extinct. Notice how it's positioned to look a lot like Jesus on The Cross?
Prologue for Alien: Covenant It picks up right after Prometheus ends. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XeMVrnYNwus.htmlsi=7XYPrpFqtR6vIae4
Fellas as someone who had a emergency c section it's extremely painful 😖 that scene always made me cringe!!! I love Noomi Rapace in this I suggest watching "CLOSE" with her in it if you love suspenseful B@d A$$ movies
Good or bad, whatever is thought about this movie... you can't argue with the fact that it gifted us one phenomenal soundtrack. I'm just so glad that y'all are going through all these instalments.
Do yourself a favor and watch PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zblN55j0ILA.html) and you'll see where a lot or ALIEN and PROMETHEUS get their inspiration from. Also, if you watch ALIEN and immediately afterwards watch PROMETHEUS, you'll see how Scott lost 99% of his artistry in telling a story and shot composition and basic eye for cinema in 33 years. Sad to me. Makes this a glorious failure in my book.
Hell yea. Enjoying this little journey very much. I heard that there is different endings and cuts, and a lot more material to it, which is just awesome. These new movies are good. And your channel is ma fav atm
DAVID, PLAYED GREAT BY MICHAEL FASSBENDER, BLEACHES HIS HAIR BLONDE TO RESEMBLE "LAWRENCE OF ARABIA" THIS IS SECOND ONLY TO ORIGINAL "ALIEN"😱😱😱😱👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I just realized the alien ship from the beginning look like the one from the movie arrival what a interesting connection. It left the same way it did in this movie.
This movie has way too much style and not enough substance. Imagine painstakingly creating and vetting a team of experts to send out into the galaxy to find other sentient life and this is the crew you end up with. Every "expert" at their job seems to be an amateur at best, and their stupidity is what makes a possible great film a mediocre one. The biologist takes tries to touch this horrific snake creature like it's a puppy, even though a few minutes earlier he was scared stiff of a corpse. Hello, isn't there some sort of protocol for when you find new life?! The geologist in charge of mapping the ship is the same one that gets lost. The black goo does whatever the plot needs it to, and it is never actually explained in terms of what it does. The captain of the ship is utterly useless and spends most of it sitting around, having sex, etc. Taking off their helmets is also an insane thing to do. Just because the air is breathable doesn't mean it isn't dangerous and full of microbes, diseases, etc. The crew themselves seem to not actually be a team, as it seems as though several have never met before. They also don't even know anything about the mission they signed up for. Didn't they get into the sleeping pods...together? Wouldn't you want to train and prepare a crew that might encounter aliens/sentients...? Especially such a costly (and important) mission? They also are barely even surprised by the insane discoveries they are making, and aren't even concerned when people go missing, etc. Shaw recovering from a *heavily* traumatic C-section and being able to run, etc, is just so ridiculous and insane. Michael Fassbender as David is probably the best thing about the film, but he's also all over the place in terms of purpose, reasoning, goals. Like what are "his" motives? Ash in the original film was directed to bring home the xenomorph at all costs and was told that "all crew were expendable," but David seems to just be a curious sociopath. This is just stuff off the top of my head - there's more to complain about! Anywho, amazing visuals with a ton of promise, but the film just expects its viewers to be idiots, I guess
By the way, the original script? Holloway dies by birthing a chestburster WHILE having sex with Shaw. Would have been the greatest scene in the entire filmed series
It can't be the same ship because the ship that the Nostromo crew found, still had the navigator in his chair. This one got eaten. The chair would be empty.
I actually left the theater angry due to how absolutely stupid and just bad this film was. Its full of pretension and thinks it's smart when, in fact, it's quite dumb in so many ways. And OMG the awful script and accents.
This is not related to the movie but it always makes laugh when movies about the future are set in a time period that is now in reality or so close to our real time frame that we KNOW we ain’t gonna be flying ships or as advanced as we see ourselves to be in the “future”. 2090’s are not so far away. I doubt we’ll be going so far out to space by then. MAYBE colonies on Mars and the moon. Probably just looking at further out moons in our solar system but not interstellar space- not the outer solar system. Not even close
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Such a great reaction channel gentleman. This is my 4th favorite movie in the franchise. I'm so glad I became a Subie, you guys are fast in showing these movies. Can't wait to watch Alien Covenant next with you guys.
I like this movie it’s a nice concept but as far as prequel lore, I by far prefer the alien vs predator take on it. Because in this movie’s explanation and AvP have a very different explanation of earths history with xenomorph, engineers and predators
In the beginning the alien was on earth , he drank the mixture to separate his DNA so it would reconfigure to create life on earth..... the ship at the end was NOT the ship from the first Alien movie it's another ship on a planete, the first alien movie the ship was on a moon orbiting another planet ,,,, the ""bio-weapons"" on this ship were not alien eggs like in the first alien film ,,,,,, ONE of the bio weapons from this ship was the origins of the xenomorph that laid the eggs in the first movie .....
Her asking at the end of the movie why they wanted to kill us is kinda dumb. Isn't that obvious? They are a peaceful people, they saw how humanity got violent. In the deleted scene, the engineer explained that they tried to save us a long time ago, when they sent a especial human that was created on their home planet to help and teach us about kindness. But humanity killed him, so that was the final straw for them.
I dont think its the same planet as the first film. in the first film, the engineer in the seat was fossilized. that wouldn't occur over 30 years. There is a follow up film to this and also an Alien 4 -- both arent that good. but they fill out the world a lot more.
But see, the thing fell, and the rolled to one side... So... Like... How do you explain the actual deaths that happen similarly every single day? Little girl running from a large construction barrier.... You gonna go rally at her gravesite? Old man and his son, couldn't get away from a tree, crushed to death, you gonna go tell their family they should have gone left or right?
This is not a direct prequel to Alien. It's set on a different planet to begin with. The ship is not the same ship from the original Alien film. Unfortunately Alien Covenant went in a total different direction and it's failure at the box office has doomed and 3rd film in this trilogy so we'll never see the exact lead in to the original Alien.
This movie was not a direct prequel. See events in this movie did predate,Alien, and it was supposed to live in the same universe as the Alien franchise, but branch off into its own thing. But most fans were split. They either wanted to see an alien movie or wanted to explore the concept of the engineers. when the reception was not what Ridley Scott had hoped, he decided to switch gears and refocus it and have the next movie Alien Covenant, be a prequel to Alien. There were many unfortunate consequences that resulted from this decision though. I won’t go into detail. You will see in alien covenant. But I will say that those who were interested in having all of their questions about the engineers answered in Alien Covenant were sadly disappointed.
Though polarising it’s quite a fascinating thing to explore in this Alien universe, wonder if further merchandise and media will explore the elements introduced in the Prequels.
No that engineer in the seat is not the same one from the original ALien movie. Not the same planet and the Engineer in the original Alien movie was much older than this one.
Imagine to sit in theater and have no idea that this movie is an Alien prequel! I thought it is just a Sci Fi movie ... till I saw the end, this was such a great surprise! Greetings from Germany❤
I'm not a huge fan of Alien. But Fassbender draws me to this one. Michael delivers, doesn't matter what he's playing. (Also, I watched XMen movies all day yesterday, so .. 😄
I was disappointed because the planet isn't the same as in the first Alien movie (unless the name of the planet was changed) so it leaves a big gap in the story. I've only seen Covenant once but it didn't really explain a lot either. I wanna know HOW the queen got on the original planet and started laying eggs. Neither movie explains that. Hopefully in the future we get a connecting movie.
Great reaction, yes the Engineer was on earth when he decomposed and was the reason for life on earth especially human life. In some of the original concepts and scripts for the film Ridley Scott had planed for one of the Engineers to come to earth to teach humanity where he was eventually betrayed and crucified so when we go forwards in time he his thought to be where humans got the idea of Jesus from, they ended up not going ahead with this idea because the creative team didn’t think that American audiences would like it but I personally think it is a great concept. If you guys like Prometheus and Alien covenant you should definitely watch Raised by wolves, even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed as part of the franchise Ridley Scott has spoken about how he used the show to explore some of the ideas he had for Prometheus and alien covenant in the series.
“Prometheus” & “Alien: Covenent” were great Sci-Fi movies. Though both installments were in the Alien universe, but they were not in the direct storyline of the Alien franchise, thus not making it so well received by the fans, audience and viewers. The focus of these two installments were not on the Xenomorphs or main character like Ellen Ripley, thus pushing the love ❤️ of the fans, audience and viewers further away from the franchise. Instead, the focus was on new race/species of sentient beings called Engineers, and the main central character of focus was a robot/android called David. It’s a new direction for the franchise, which is not a bad idea, an interesting and exciting and explorable concept, but certainly not something easily, comfortably and conveniently welcomed by us the fans, audience and the viewers. In my opinion, David is not a bad robot/android like in the first original “Alien” movie. He’s not a villain at all. He’s just not that humane. That does not make him to be qualified as a legit villain😊
Always enjoy your reactions!! Grew up with the Alien franchise and this movie is very dear to my heart. I own the soundtrack. The soundtracks for this and the first Alien movie are superb!! "Prometheus and Alien take place on different planets. Prometheus is set on a planetoid with the designation LV-223, while Alien takes place on LV-426 (aka Acheron)12345. According to Ridley Scott, the two planetoids are in the same star system14. The planets have different names and atmospheres5. The planet LV-223 was thought to appear in Alien, but instead, LV-426 was used3." Highly recommend this channel for understanding Prometheus: Kroft talks about Movies. So much was left out of this movie from the original script!! Recommend the deleted scenes as well where the Engineer has an entire dialogue with David. Keep up the GREAT work guys!! Looking forward to the Alien Covenant reaction!!
