What do I like about it and what would other people like about it?

I like some of the acting by Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and I like the action scenes with Quicksilver (Evan Peters); and I think that other people will like that as well.

Final Thoughts

I liked this movie better than many of the recent Marvel movies that have gotten too goofy and empty, I still did not like it as much as many of the critics, but I did like it somewhat more than I had expected; but I think that Quicksilver should have been shown more.

Alien: Covenant

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 2017 science fiction horror film Alien: Covenant that was directed by Ridley Scott.

What is it about?

This is how 20th Century Fox describes this movie:

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise.

The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world.

When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

Final Thoughts

This movie was not as bad as my brother GC and I thought that it would be based on some of the reviews that we saw and read about it.

We possibly liked it slightly better than the movie Prometheus, but we are not sure because it has been a while since we saw that movie.

I do know that I like how in the movie Prometheus it felt like they were really on another planet more than it did in this movie, and I liked a few of the characters better in Prometheus.

I think that this movie could have explained some more things and / or been a bit shorter because it dragged a bit in two parts of the movie, but I do respect them for being bold enough to end the film in the way that they did.
