When the trailer for Alien Covenant was released, most people were trying to figure out if it was a sequel to Prometheus which is a prequel to the Aliens Franchise. Or if was a Sequel to both Prometheus and Aliens making it a reboot of the original based on the prequel. Turns out in simple terms, Alien Covenant is a sequel to Prometheus and the second installment of three in the Alien prequel series, as well as the sixth film in the overall Alien film series, and third directed by Ridley Scott…If your brains still function after all that, the series order is complicated. The critical response to Prometheus was pretty split down the middle but that wasn’t going to stop 20th Century Fox from seeing $$$ in a cinematic universe involving Aliens. …show more content…
A colony ship in the middle of space is bound for a remote planet that is years away with a couple thousand colonists onboard.

The crew must fight to survive the planet while they others look for a way to save them without jeopardy the lives of the …show more content…
When it comes to the writing, you see a lot of similar to the first film. It’s not good or bad, just in the middle. The only story that seems to progress this franchise is the story of David played by Michael Fassbender who is on a ‘kill all humans’ trip and is single handily responsible spreading the plague of this deadly alien virus to one planet after another. Fassbender carries this movie in acting and story as he is playing the role of evil killbot David as well as a kinder upgrade version of himself. The scenes where he is having a conversation with himself are both brilliant and something unintentionally
The introductory moments are somewhat confusing, and it takes about fifteen or twenty minutes to get the characters and situations straight. Madeleine Stowe's British accent is of the "now-you-hear-it, now-you-don't" variety, although her performance pretty much makes up for this inconsistency. Finally, the photography surrounding the waterfall is unconvincing. Other than those few things the film was great. From beginning to end, there isn't a weak performance. Finally, there's the story, which, while not all that complex, is of epic nature. At first I wasn’t expecting this movie to be good but by the end of the last battle I knew that The Last of the Mohicans is a memorable motion picture adventure, and one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
...ie was about two expert microbiologists and their journey though three remote and unknown caves, both under and above water. They investigate these caves, seeking tiny organisms that dwell in the Earth's most hostile environments, such as places with no light and few nutrients. In some instances they were even seeking organisms that had been locked in solid ice for hundreds of years. They are studying these life forms in hopes finding new drugs and antibiotics. I found the movie very interesting, and I think seeing it on the IMAX screen made it even better.
In all, the directing and acting both had its good points and its bad points. Unfortunately, the one well directed scene and the one convincing actor would not have been enough to satisfy my friend, and it was not enough to satisfy me.
Criticisms (Favourable): Very original, intelligent plot. Well-written characters that aren’t two dimensional and who make human decisions (David’s father, who may seem like a cruel man but who is really just doing what he was brought up to believe is right).
I think that the opening of the film was not as good as the opening of
In my opinion, this movie is boring and confusing for the first time but, from the second time, this movie starts reveal the fascination. At the first time, I do not like this movie so much but after I watched second time, I became to like this movie. If I asked
On a scale from one to ten, I give this movie a seven. This film was well written and directed; the he plot was confusing at first, once I figured out that Christopher Nolan was trying to do, the rest of the story line was fairly easy to follow.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
The film does a great job showing how powerful myths can be. It shows how even though people can believe that myths are outdated they are still used, and still influence different parts of our culture today. This series poses many though provoking examples of how myths influences everything from religion to seemly unrelated films such as Star Wars. This series is a must see for anyone who enjoys mythology, or anyone who is questioning their place in the heavens among the
'Aliens' by James Cameron James Cameron creates atmosphere in a key sequence in ‘Aliens’ using cinematography, editing, sound, special effects and mise-en-scene. The scene opens with one of the protagonists, Corporal Hicks, telling his troops what he managed to ‘salvage from the APC’, this dialogue is of a military style, and emphasizes the professional nature of the characters. This idea of military professionalism is reinforced by the costumes worn by the characters e.g. bullet proof jackets and bullet belts etc, these make the audience feel protected as if they are in ‘safe hands’. Whilst the marines are hunched over a table, the camera is positioned looking over the shoulder of one of them, giving the audience a chance to ‘be there’ with them. This allows the audience to connect with the characters and to feel what they feel.
...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.
is the same as many other sci-fi films like war of the worlds and mars
Overall, the film isn’t half as epic as Emmerich’s previous. blockbusters or half as entertaining. The dialogues are about as interesting as watching paint dry and the bland characters have about as much depth as a puddle in the street! The storyline isn’t exactly. deep, introspective stuff, either.
It takes place on New Year’s Eve aboard the cruise ship “Poseidon.” As the guests are counting down the seconds until midnight, a very large rogue wave is spotted. It hits the cruise ship and flips the entire thing upside-down, but it remains afloat.
In my own opinion I think this film is great. I think this because it
