There is no nice way to put
it, so I'll just say it loud: Ridley Scott is ripe for euthanasia. A man who
once defined genres and made legendary franchises that educated entire
generations is now killing his masterpieces one by one. Just if „Prometheus”
wasn't enough, he gave birth to another retarded script that surpassed even its
mediocre predecessor.
There isn't one good thing
about „Covenant”. Not a single one. Not even
one good action sequence, or just a decent CGI. No. Everything is just
so missing the point, that you'll laugh instead of being scared, or just end up
being utterly frustrated. Script is practically non-existent, with „plot” being
so lame and tragi-comical that entire flick becomes a self-parody right from
the opening „I am your father” scene.
If the script was made for
the people with special demands, what can be said about the acting? Even the
otherwise reliable Fassbender is just drowning in sea of pretentiousness. His
scenes in a double role are meant to be the best ones in the movie, but they
end being the worst ones. Neutron storm, scene with the pipes, taming the
aliens with breathing in their non-existent mouths, self-kissing, vomiting
facehugger's embryos... Just plain AWFUL. All of this wouldn't bother me if
Scott just came out in the open and went honest that he made a high end budget
trash. No, no, he was serious, dead serious and that can't be forgiven or
forgotten.
„Covenant” isn't just a worse „Alien” movie. It's the worse American
blockbuster in this decade and maybe even in this century.
I don't even understand how I finished up here, but I assumed this put up was great. I do not recognize who you're however certainly you're going to a famous blogger for those who aren't already. Cheers!
