The Covanant colony mission is interrupted and discover a distress signal coming from a nearby planet. Liking the look of it more than going back into a dangerous hyper sleep, they go down to check it out. Down there they discover an alien species completely destroyed by causes unknown. The traditional saga formula insues: someone gets infected, the aliens reek havoc and the humans appear to have won.
Here we seem to have another reboot, posing as a sequel/ prequel, in that the format is very much like the first Alien film, back in 79'. Following a distress signal, lending on a planet, issues with a storm, evil company synthetic, alien inhabits host and ends up back on the ship, takes them.out one by one, juat wjen you think it is over, its not, Alien is blown out into space, heroine survives.
All making sence as it is Mr Scott back at the helm.

That is not this one does not have it's own flare, this film takes place after Prometheus, but before it's 79'older brother, so we see more of the creation and evolution of the Xenomorph (big happies for lovers of that horror puppy) and it keeps you fence throughout, like the originals.
There are some odd pacing issues with some parts, though it feels more like a bit of condensed editing to cut the film down (though what is with the flute scene?!?!?!)
Aliens (the Cameron 86' sequel) is one of my all time favourite films, and as a fan of the series, I did enjoy watching this film, but do hope for something truly compelling in the next instalment.

The plot of this film interested me immediately. This is not an alien-invasion film, it's an alien occupation film. It was definitely a nice change. The aliens only appear a few times, and you don't really know anything about them, other than they sounds like cicadas in the summer when they communicate and live underground.
John Goodman's character was my favorite, by far, and you could tell that not everything was as it seemed. I liked the Trojan Horse analogy, which is very apt for the plot. You can kind of figure out what's going on, and as the banner photo shows, you know John Goodman's character eventually goes down to the tunnels.
Overall, it was a different, refreshing movie and well worth a watch.

I like the predator movies. This one was not much different than the rest. Some new characters, plenty of intense(gory)action and cool special effents. Interesting idea about the gene splicing. The story was a little out there, but it's a movie about alien hunters, so don't take it too seriously. The alien dog was a weird part and Olivia Munn's character was not explained very well. How was this biologist so adept with weapons/ fighting? The acting was decent and the cinematography was done really well. Of course they left it open for a sequel(duh). Anyway, it was a fun, entertaining movie and I'd recommended it to antoine who's into action movies. Even if you've never seen a Predator film before. Worth a watch!
