Madness Movie Review: Alien Covenant (2017)



Alien Covenant (2017) is a movie directed by Ridley Scott and is the direct sequel to Prometheus (2012).

The movie answered some questions I didn't even knew I had, but made me question more things. Thanks a lot! There's something that appears in this movie and is connected with Alien (1979). They explained how that something was conceived, but I don't know how I feel about that explanation. I think there's things that don't need explanations. I guess is a bit nitpicking from my part, but it actually affects the first movie. One thing that happened in the end was too obvious it was going to happen, it was a bit lazy from my perspective. Stupid characters, why is there always stupid characters? Yeah I know, "there wouldn't be a plot! ". The last problem I had with the movie was, it made me think to much in the better sequels, in a action point of view. Once again, probably to much nitpicking of my part. For a sequel to a Prometheus movie, this movie has too much aliens and less engineers, which i think is a negative point against the movie, because with the ending of Prometheus I wanted to know a bit more about the Engineers, Paradise and how did they create that gow. I guess i will have to wait for another sequel, Alien:Pangu

Okay, now the positives. This is a gorgeous movie, it has a good combination of Aliens action with the tenseful and uncomfortable mood of Alien. Being a direct sequel of Prometheus, it of course has that Prometheus philosophy, continuing that idea of “creation and destruction” and exploring it through David’s dialogue and interaction with a another character. Like Alien the movie starts very slowly, than has a burst of action, than slows down again for some philosophy talk and than some more action.

The characters are in most part likable and, unlike Alien Shitssurection, not only Alien food. Okay,except for one stupid and annoying character. God!! She screws up big and thanks to her people die!!

The end was so, so predictable, I didn’t like it at all, i don’t know what Ridley Scott was thinking. It’s obvious there’s going to be a sequel, so you can look at this movie has the Batman v Superman of the Prometheus franchise. The movie only exists so we can have a sequel that will actually explain what happen in Alien (1979). Still, I think it deserves a watch, and you should watch this in the movies.

Comic Talks: Injustice (1-5 Years and Ground Zero)

So, I finally read the Injustice story arc (not including Injustice 2), and I really enjoyed this new outtake on the classic superheroes. They went all out in these comics, no character was safe from death, good characters very slowly turned mad, and when you think things are going to be resolved, something unexpected happens and everything turns to shit again. The atmosphere is so tense and the visuals are grimy, fill with sadness and emptiness. The artwork is very appealing, all the costumes have an armor-like style, the combat is very well drawn, you actually get immerse in the fighting moments, and every page is fill with emotion and nit details. The volumes I liked the most were vol.1 (Superman loses his love ones), vol. 2 (the Green Lantern Corp war), vol. 4 (Gods vs Gods) and vol. 5 (unexpected allies and fight fire with fire). Vol. 3 (all magic), I felt with was a bit boring and under use of all the potential magic characters in the DC world. Ground Zero was too much...

Comic Talks: Watchmen comics

Okay Guys, let’s talk about Alan Moore’s Watchmen graphic novel and awesome this comic book his. Ups, spoiler alert! It’s an awesome comic book and a must read. Watchmen world is an alternative world in the 80s, where Nixon is the president of United States of America and heroes are normal humans in masks and the only superhero (guy with powers) is Doctor Manhattan. This means there’s no Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and so on. Batman, Nightwing, Green Arrow and other well-known human heroes are also absent from this universe. At the time the comic starts, vigilantism is illegal, unless they’re working for the government, and a character named Edward Blake gets attacked and murdered in his own home by an unknown character. This comic book wasn’t an easy read, it took me several months to read, and probably i missed a lot of subtitle details. Unlike other superhero comic books, Watchmen has a lot of dialogue between characters, that serves to familiarize the reader wi...

Madness Movie Review: Jumanji (1995)

Jumanji (1995) is a movie directed by Joe Johnston and stars the deceased Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, a man who was stuck in a mystical board game after playing it as a boy. Alan, Sarah Whittle (Bonnie Hunt) and two young kids, Judy Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter Shepherd (Bradley Pierce) have to finish the game Alan started as a boy, before it destroys the entire twon. Since a young age, I loved this movie, Robin Williams was so entertaining and charismatic, and the effects were not bad for the time it was released. Now in my adult life, I can see more than cool effects, funny moments and the typical happy ending. In the beginning of the movie, we get broken characters that are put in a dangerous situation and are forced to face their fears in order to prevent more destruction. Its a cool character development movie with very subtle details. Alan Parrish starts the movie as a kid tormented by bullies and has a rough relationship with his father, Sam Parrish, play...
