    This looks seriously awesome (speaking as someone who has always preferred Alien to Aliens).
    But then, the trailer for Prometheus looked awesome too, and I've not heard good things about that.

    It was okay. It had a lot of holes and there was some very confusing parts of it.

    The first trailer didn't do much for me but this gets me excited for the movie.

    My favorite line is when Delta Burke screams "yippee ki-yay mother fucker" as she beats that one alien to death with a frying pan.

    I'm a fan too. Enjoyed the originals and Two AVP movies. I'm a fan of the Predator series as well. I'm looking forward to this movie. Looks like some good action mixed with comedic relief in Danny McBride

    The thing about Prometheus is its the prequel to the prequel and we don't gain a whole lot of knowledge from it other than there
    are engineers who hate humans and are breeding an alien spieces to wipe them out. That the planet is a breeding ground, and the whole trip was for some really old guy to try and gain immortality. Then it ends with a non sigorney weaver character surviving and instead of going home she's going to go to the alien home world because what could go wrong and maybe they will talk it all out, and everyone will be friends. Right.

    Alien Covenant is the story Ridley Scott wanted to get to, but felt for some odd reason he needed to make Prometheus first when he could have made Alien Covenent to begin with, saved us some time and brain matter. Prometheus was made purely to relate the engineer angle. Alien Covenant is the business end, getting back to Alien level grade. It will be far better than Prometheus and be worth watching.

    Yeah it's good. But, its unsubstantial plot line stopped it from being on par with the original. The movie should have began with them arriving at the planet and sparing us all the days our life bullshit on the spaceship. That would have allowed for more aliens, actual aliens, and more story about the engineers which was very vague.

    At least they did not choose British actors and reverb effects. The third movie was hard to understand. This would be a good choice for Netflix or Redbox after it spends three weeks on the movie theater circuit and is dumped.
