Alien Covenant: A Review →
While this blog is mostly intended to lay out my ideas associated with various technologies, every once in a while I'm happy to depart from that theme.
Last week, Geeks of Doom was gracious enough to allow my opinion to be represented as their review of Alien Covenant.
My overall assessment? Better than Prometheus, but still flawed. Here's an excerpt of what I had to say:
“Alien: Covenant lacks the same emotional heights sci-fi fans associate with Ridley Scott’s film of 1979 or James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, though it’s not without merit. Chief among the complaints is that the new film seems to sit on the franchise’s laurels rather than push it forward in the way Casino Royale did for James Bond or Logan did for X-Men. It’s been 38 years since the original Alien thriller, but this movie lacks some of the lauded learnings and innovations of modern science fiction cinema.”
