Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Covenant)

[crows]

Not really alien, I can do that.

You can make other peoples worms bigger?????? What???

I recommend that you research the term "Planetary protection" because the points you're brought up are valid but lean heavily on the assumption that contamination is only based on parallel evolution.
Like stepping on thin ice, some contaminants can react instantly.
They're alien, so who knows what can happen. It's a very high risk. (See movie: War of the Worlds)

Or the book War of the Worlds and book/movie the Andromeda Strain.
If life on Earth originated on Mars (panspermia), then that could happen, but there are tons of pathogens on Earth that don't infect humans, the majority of Earth plant viruses for instance cannot infect humans, they evolved to specifically infect plants on Earth. Until A scientist can get a hold of some genuine alien viruses and study them, from what we know so far is that alien viruses can not infect Earth life. War of the Worlds and the Andromeda Strain are about as scientifically accurate as Prometheus and Alien Covenant at the moment.

Finding it hard to disagree with this guy

That was a bit repetitious, I agree that Prometheus and Covenant did not live up to my expectations regarding the Space Jockey, but I still like the direction these films are heading. The horror of a god like species that created us decided they hate us and want to destroy us in the most graphic and disturbing ways possible.
I hope we at least get one more movie in this new trilogy to button up the story.

Yikes, say goodbye to this franchise lol.

Profiting worldwide, despite the BOM cut/paste.

At this point introduce Predators ...or Arnold Schwarzenegger... either works for me

I'm the minority of this it appears , but I enjoyed Covenant. I'm still confused and left asking questions but I dug the movie .

Last thing they should do is cave to the nostalgia train (which everyone claims to hate, but cries when it's not observed).

Let Scott finish his vision - at a profit to the studio - and when he's done Blomkamp and other fans can get roasted by the internet when their concept art doesn't live up to the "hype."

Internet will be happy because it's an online failure, real world will be happy because the studio made money and the normies were entertained.

It's not as delicate a balance as it seems.

This isnt making any money

Except for math.

 

[Devil_666]

Math be lying sometimes, yo.

I can't argue with you. I know you don't believe in overseas money and I can't prove it exists.

Ok what am I missing here because the film is sitting at 161 million worldwide and has now joined these other flops of 2017:

King Arthur leads the pack of box office disasters

Then

Baywatch
GITS
Power Rangers
Chips

Where did AC make money?

Take half away from the 161 box office and kiss it goodbye.

Ridley was riding high on the coat tails of the super successful The Martian but AC is hurting the Alien franchise.

Just wait until 2018, it'll be the death knell for movies and Hollywood.

 

[jye4ever]

These movies are all cannibalizing each other but once again...

Disney just surpassed a billion domestic already for 2017 and GOTG2 is actually performing very well for them the drops have been impressive.

Hell even POTC 5 has done ok Worlwide.

But very easy for a movie to get lost now.

Junkion is either trolling or hes dumb enough to think the theaters dont keep a cut of the money lol.

Yeah jye.... studios keep 100% of the profit

 

[jye4ever]

The theater chains have just announced free soda and popcorn all the time lol

 

[crows]
