    Really excited for this, gone back and watched them all recently, I hope this one is good and actually feels like an Alien film and learn from the mad amount of mistakes from Prometheus, though the trailer has that Prometheus feeling to it.

    love these films, Prometheus is a work of art as a film, if you understand it. aliens is a masterpiece. glad to see ridley scott is back directing these. big fan of his work.

    Really liked Prometheus,was always going to be the not so great one of the 3 as it was setting up the story from the very beginning.Looking forward to Covenant.

    I'll need to watch Prometheus again but it was underwhelming the first time.

    Have to agree Prometheus was excellent, it seems people just want ALIENS rehashed over and over again YAWN. Does my head in when people complain about ALIEN3 killing off Hicks and Newt.

    I loved Alien 3 , 4 was * though.....as was prometheus in my opinion.

    I really didn't get the hate with Alien 3 at all, well acted, dark ,claustrophobic, reminded me of Alien....and was directed by Fincher same guy that done se7en.

    Alien 3 was great, loved Dillon: You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your *' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say *** that thing! Let's fight it!

    Trailer 2 has went live, talking points.

    Who is David working on in his lab? Is it Shaw or an Engineer?
    NEOMORPH!
    DOME HEADED ALIEN, that looks closer to Gigers design compared with the cockroach looking thing in ALIENS!!!
    ENGINEERS CITADEL!!!! :36:
    Danny McBride looks badass.
    Original Giger design on the eggs!!!!!!!!

    The new poster for Alien Covenant. * love how it looks just like something HR Giger would have came up with, also loving how the Alien looks like the Alien again instead of the Cockroach from Aliens or the sweaty velociraptor from Resurrection. I think that in the background sort of looks like the dome of the Alien Queen, always hated the idea of the Queen alien and having the Aliens operate like hive insects. I know James Cameron's ALIENS is widely loved but sometimes I really really wish Ridley Scott done the sequel cause that whole idea of egg morphing themselves and victims seems more dark and twisted like what comes from the mind of HR Giger compared with Cameron's big insect Queen.

    That poster is class. Didn't realise it was going to be released in Imax, might take a trip to the Science centre for the release day.

    Watched the first Alien movie a few months ago.



    Genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life. Doubt I've ever seen a more boring film.

    Each to their own but I'd be interested to know which films someone with that opinion does like, particularly which sci-fi/horror films?
