    I've yet to see Prometheus but will check it out soon. Just never got around to watching it.

      The only reason I watched it was because of its association with the Alien universe.
      Even then, I wasn't very fond of it either.
      If it had been a standalone film, I'd give it a 1/5.

        Prometheus was visually amazing, just a shame they brought in Lindelof to do the script, because that was like guaranteeing the movie would end up sucking. And it kind of did.

        I have much higher hopes for Covenant.

            ^ Really enjoyed that clip and made me more excited for the movie. Is the prologue going to be part of the main film or is it supplemental footage? I got the feel that it was supplemental considering the length.

              I'm not sure myself.

                Let's hope ditching Damon Lindelof allows this movie to be as good as Prometheus should've been. That movie was such an aggravating pile of rubbish. One of the few times I've left the theater angry. I hate how plot holes have become en vogue with some writers, as if tying up a storyline to make sense and not relying totally on a macguffin would be a horrible thing to do.

                I, for one, don't think the beasts are played out. In a good story, with decent acting, an eerie vibe, a good score, some adherence to science and logic, and mediocre direction, I don't see how they'll ever be played out.

                  I understand from a storytelling perspective, but I'm bitter about my girl Noomi Rapace only having a cameo in this.

                  Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                                Damn I am giddy. So happy they have tied in Prometheus with this new Alien movie.

                                I guess I was one of the few who really enjoyed Prometheus.
