       For the first time, in a long time, I'm actually quite confused
       about whether or not I liked a movie and that is the case with
       Alien: Covenant. As with all Alien flicks, the setup takes way
       too long and is damn slow. Expected that. And then it starts to
       pick up and gain some steam and then....it goes off the rails
       because it felt like Ridley Scott was shoehorning to much stuff
       into the flick for the masses to make up for Prometheus

       />which I never had a problem with. I actually liked it. Anyway,
       in Alien: Covenant, it just felt like random stuff was being
       thrown against the wall in an effort to please those naysayers.
       Furthermore, it felt too reminiscent of what has already been
       done with regards to plot and characters and setups and
       "payoffs". The whole David Vs. Walter plot just seemed way too
       convenient for what transpires. I just don't know how I feel
       about this movie. Maybe with some needed time away from this
       viewing, I can revisit the flick and see how it plays the second
       time around. I think I just wanted it to be more along the lines
       of what we got in Prometheus instead of what we have already
       seen in Alien 1-4. But then again, I guess that's what most
       people want. Anyway, flick does look fantastic and the sets are
       awesome. Definitely worth a Rent. Biggest WTF moment of course
       is James Franco, who I had no idea was in this.
