So first off i should say, i'm bloody terrified of aliens. Greens ones, grey ones, white ones. If they look semi humanish, nope nope nope. Than what happens. THEY HAVE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A REAL ALIEN AND NO NO NO! Also i went in watching this without seeing prometheus, I would highly recommend watching prometheus first before watching covenant.
So i went into the theater expecting so many people, turns out i had the theater to my sell, score one for going in super early ' not really it was 10:30' So here i am with my cheeta blankie, my hair in a messy bun, popcorn and drink in my hands with a ton of candy all around me waiting for the movie to start.
I really liked this movie, it was super good. But i really, REALLY should have watched prometheus before i watched covenant. I was super confused on many things. but in the end i realized what was going on.
So let me just say this, it was pretty well crafted, i loved how when they landed you couldn't hear any noises.. nothing. How they figured out what was going on was great as well, what creeped me out was when he was standing with the human like alien, the white one. It was like they were the same thing... I'm not up for that, the alien at the end was perfect!
The ending made me sad and a little upset, i would like to have seen some hope for the future not demise.

The film is written for both children and adults, like a toned down version of “Shrek†with a more relevant moral feel. Putting the characters in the 1950s adds to the film’s charm, allowing kids access to the blatant characterizations of the time period, such as the bumbling science professor and the hippy protestor who maintains from the start that the alien is friendly.
Other characters of note are Lem’s comic book and movie fanatic best friend, Skiff (Seann William Scott) and the military commander General Grawl (Gary Oldman) who is hell-bent on capturing the alien. Children will also enjoy the two pet creatures from a local alien dog that excretes acid to a rock-obsessed robot sent to pick up local specimens for Baker.
“Planet 51†is wholly entertaining. It provides some mature insight by displaying how we would appear to another culture if we ever did encounter aliens. This switch of perspective is sure to make children think and laugh over the simple cross-cultural mishaps that occur while Lem and Baker are attempting to find common ground.
A delightful, animated romp, “Planet 51†will make you hope for a groovy 1960’s sequel.
