For the Alien I must admit that I liked what they did. The special effects both practical and CGI are great. Although the two characters are different from a lot of perspectives both give a great performance for what they are. Waterston also gives a very good performance as Daniels and to tell you the truth I was pleasantly surprised because Noomi Rapace gave a great performance in Prometheus as Elizabeth Shaw and I was a bit skeptical if they could get the same kind of performance from another female character. Fassbender gives a solid performance once again as both David and Walter androids. Other than Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston being the central two characters everyone else are more or less under developed and used mostly as fill ins and of course candidates for more splatter scenes. In Alien Covenant we get a new set of characters with only David being the connecting piece between this and Prometheus. I will not give any spoilers for those who haven’t seen the movie but in a few seconds it really destroys the whole concept of this mysterious race of the engineers making it one of the major let downs of the movie.Scott seems fell for the fans demands that wanted to see more of the monster again and lost a great opportunity to continue the fresh story that he started with the new alien race of the engineers. What I didn’t like was that in Prometheus they created these godly looking aliens and in this movie they just turned them to nothing more than cannon fodder. It would be more interesting to keep the engineers in center focus and use the aliens as supplements rather than make the monster the center of the movie once more. Unfortunately we get a bit of the same as it offers nothing new or fresh. Although with Prometheus we get a fresh take of the universe that Ridley Scott created by giving us something new with the engineers, with this movie it seems he tried to return to the roots of what made the old movies great. After the prequel Prometheus we get the sequel “Alien Covenant”. ![]()
