>Alien: Covenant Ninth Circle fan edit version
qrd?

Yeah it's mid at best but what else is there? I feel like the bar is so fucking low that anything slightly above what used to be considered average is seen as the second coming of Christ

It’s actually a great film, you’re just an asshole. Imagine watching a movie and deciding the next thing you do is whinge about it on 4chan.

No. It's a rather bad movie. The one or two things it does well are actually mediocre. Alien Covenant, at least my memory of it, is superior. At least Alien Covenant has David's genocide of the engineers and his torture of the Prometheus protag, two genuinely wild ideas they included. What does Prometheus have? Only thing I can think of is we killed alienjesus and they decided to exterminate us. That's it. Everything else in the movie is garbage, including the action. It's just a bad, terrible movie. I have seen the Golden Path of objective analysis of Prometheus, and this is the only correct path. If you're curious, I am INTJ and I am 6'2".

Couldn't find english subtitles for it so just went with the original theatrical version. I don't know what the 50 minutes add, but apparently it's cut scenes.

i liked both prometheus and covenent
infact i liked most of them
romulus wasnt great though, and i dont think alien 3 or resurrection were particularly memorable

>>219812434
I couldn't even get through it.
It was SO boring.
I think I made it 40 minutes.

>>219812434
Prometheus gets worse every time you watch it. It's the inverse of The Godfather effect.

>>219813308
Those weren’t the Engineers.

I rewatched Alien 3 (director's? cut) and Alien Resurrection recently. I rate Alien 3 better than what I remembered and Alien Resurrection far worse than what I remembered. Right now from recent viewings, I would rate the movies as follows:
If Alien is 8/10
Aliens is 9/10
Alien 3 is 7/10
Alien Resurrection is 4.5/10
Prometheus is 6/10
Alien Covenant is 6.5/10
Alien Romulus is 7.5/10.

I forgot to explain why I think Aliens is better than Alien. Alien simply suffers from being too boring. It's not a boring movie, but it's too dragged out. Aliens is better in that respect. Yes, the genres are different, but while Aliens remains a fantastic action movie, Alien's horror elements aren't as intense today.

>romulus 7.5/10
thats insane

The thing that pisses me off the most about Covenant is the intro. It makes no sense. It's implied that it's Earth and that the "Engineers" are seeding life on Earth with some ritualistic sacrifice in which the Engineer's DNA somehow enters the water and causes a "Cambrian explosion" type event of rapidly evolving life on Earth.

It just pisses me off because from that perspective it makes 0 sense if you have any knowledge of Earth's geological history, since complex life on Earth evolved around 600-540 million years ago depending on whether you start at the Ediacaran or the Cambrian.
The reason it makes no sense is that this would make the Engineers likely hundreds of millions if not billions of years old, how would their society even remember Earth exists after that amount of time passes, and to make things worse the evolution of humans is practically a miracle if you look at the history of life on Earth, it only happened because of all of the mass extinctions that kept wiping out almost all life on earth 5+ times, those extinctions survivors are what everything kept evolving and changing from to the point that mammals just happened to be the dominant survivors of the end cretaceous extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, so how did the Engineers ever plan for this series of events? I mean the cave paintings they discover in scotland or whatever show the Engineers went back to Earth and visited it, yet it's implied at the very start of the movie that they seeded life on a Primordial Earth without complex life evolving on it yet, and them sacrificing the engineer makes no sense in terms of leading to human evolution, it would have made sense if they showed an engineer being eaten by some kind of primate or some shit that began its evolution into humans or something retarded like that.

shit I meant the Prometheus intro, not covenant.

i think it was supposed to be some christcuck allegory i.e. jesus was an engineer

>>219813930
Before that retard Lindelof got his hands on it, that’s essentially how the events unfolded - the Engineers had only “recently” intervened in our evolution and had done something to stabilize our climate. Also, in the original, Jesus was basically a human emissary that had been given knowledge by them.

Now this bit is just me inferring things on my own, but I think what the original screenwriter was going for was sort of a retelling of the Book of Enoch, where the robe-wearing Engineer we see at the beginning was one of the “ascended” Engineers and the bioteched-out surviving Engineer that we see later is one of the “Fallen” that wanted to kill (damn) humanity, the implication being that our treatment of their emissary caused a schism within their culture that led to a “war in Heaven,” so to speak.

In short: the original story was way less retarded.
