In an earth-based movie, these folk would get strangled by a cordless phone.
-
Like Terminator and Predator, the Alien franchise only has 2 movies.
-
The best part of this movie is James Franco dies before he has a chance to be in it.

In Alien you felt the safety in numbers and each time one was killed you felt the fear in the crew. That movie was so brilliant it didn’t give you a break, you only felt slightly more at ease when you saw them all together in rec room. It was master class in tension, desperation and fear.

"Yo there's a signal on an alien planet. Should we check it out?" "No. We're not equipped for that. Put in a call for the Colonial Marines. They'll check it out." rolls credits

The one thing that bothers me about the Alien franchise is that no one has made a sequel to 1986's Aliens. It's been almost 40 years and there is just TWO films in the entire franchise. Just two. :(

Whenever I'm sad i come back to this video. It never fails to make me burst out with laughter. Drinker's earlier videos were so much more savage than his newest ones.

Imagine it's the 90s and we are told in the future that Ridley Scott will return to the Alien franchise, Patrick Stewart will reprise his role of Picard in a new Star Trek series, Bruce Campbell would star in an Evil Dead show, and Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford would return to Star Wars...and it would all be shit.

As a geologist I appreciate you mentioning the absurdity of a geologist getting lost. Especially with gps and mapping tech. I always found that stupid.

Have ya noticed that the older Ridley Scott has gotten, the more philosophical and spiritual he's gotten with his Alien franchise? I'm telling ya, the guy has gotten preoccupied and obsessed with his own mortality. He's having an existential crisis thinking he's on the verge of standing before god and that bullshit has seeped into his storytelling. Also, Drinker, this type of content is still your greatest skill. Just so damn good. Don't forget about your review videos.

80s horror: Tension, story driven, sprinkle of jumpscares. Horror today: Almost non-stop jumpscares interspersed with cgi goreporn

honestly, no joke, i forgot the main girl in this movie was even in the movie...

"But then he starts having a sweet rave party" gets me every time 😂😂😂

I am old enough to have seen them original Alien in first theatrical release in 1979 with no previous exposure to the "alien" I must say it was electrifying even though you didn't see a lot of it, you can never recapture that original exposure and debut of the creature. I must say that even Ash and his attempt to kill Ripley and his malfunction was hideously frightening in 1979! In this era you just can't recreate that.

There is a plotwist, that makes this movie totally logical: The Covenant is no colony ship, but the attempt of earth to get rid of its greatest morons. Mission accomplished!
-
0/10 For a movie called Covenant, there was a severe lack of grunts, elites and brutes.
-
Alien Isolation has all the material needed for something great.
