@StewBedazzle it seems an odd issue of IP rights to the 'Alien' franchise being as restrictive as it is. And it's bad enough RIdley Scott can't keep his paws off it even though he hasn't really contributed to it in any meaningful way since abandoning the prometheus story. If you ask me, he should have passed the torch to Neil Blomkamp back when he was all set to do a proper sequel to 'Aliens'. It's the timeline i wish we were part of lol.

Not tactically sound or reasonable given the circumstances. If a corporation can fund a ship that can travel to the stars. Imagine what governments can do? What hope would one ship have against a military from all the space faring countries from earth? The ship would have been met with an armada light years from earth. A type 2 civilization armada. No hope of it winning. Say it defeats that armada. A more advance Armada will meet it the next time. For the scientist and military strategist will have accessed it strength and weaknesses. And will come with a more advance ships. This pattern will just repeat until it is defeated. Now the defenders are just as strong as you. Now earth will be on the attack. Remember a type 2 civilization like in this film is damn near impossible to defeat.

This movie was underrated

[@PointReflex]

On the contrary it was overhyped by the marketing department. Don't forget all of those online videos and commercials showing us how Weyland got the crew in the ship, not to mention how the company sold us the David model line. Fast foward to teh time of release and everyone knew that the movie was really bad. Great visuals and music but the plot itself and most of the characters were a waste of screen time. And for the record I DO LIKE the film, but it is by no means an underrated movie nor a good alien prequel.

[@officialrvelasco]

Fury161 oh ok didn’t know that. Anyways in my opinion I found it very interesting movie. It should’ve expanded until revealing the real origin of the Aliens. But Covenant was such a disappointment. It felt very rushed. The only reason I felt like it was underrated is because from what I know, Ridley had to change the sequel based on people not liking Prometheus.

[@PointReflex]

@@officialrvelasco I understand your point. But most people didn't liked prometheus because instead of being a direct prequel to Alien, it was a spin-off-ish thing. Not to mention that the 'space truckers' of the Nostromo were more competent and professional than the scientists of the Prometheus. What Ridley did in Covenant was the final nail in the coffin. Ugly, ugly film.

[@jimbobeire]

@@PointReflex It's not surprising that the crew of the _Nostromo_ were more competent though. They were only interested in getting home. There was nobody like Shaw with a religious belief that what was in there was their creator that had _invited_ them to come, and nobody like Weyland, desperate to get answers before he kicked the bucket. Shaw is similar to Ripley as far as courage and toughness goes, but Ripley was cautious and rational. Ripley would have looked at those cave paintings, realised they were painted by tribal humans witnessing an invitation of their own time, not an invitation left by Engineers for future humans. She would have been curious as to whether the trips were taking tribal humans away and for what purpose. She would not have considered it a good idea to just land, and roll right in as if there was a pleasant welcome for the Prodigal Son. Also, the crew of the _Nostromo_ were hired in a normal fashion, and had been with the company a long time, and knew how to work together. The crew of the _Prometheus_ was a "Ship of Fools". They signed up for a mission knowing nothing but the pay, and got their first briefing 28 months after they'd launched. Shaw is a fanatic who is 100% certain of her conclusions, based on cherry picked evidence, because of what she 'chooses to believe' . Holloway is a moron, Weyland is dying, desperate and ruthless. David and Ford are working Weylands agenda while Shaw doesn't keep control of the mission. Ripley took command when Dallas died, and she made good decisions, and kept everyone focussed on one agenda. They only had one crew member working to a different agenda of course, Ash. Covenant was even more stupid, I agree.

@The Feeling Is Mutual Not sure where you got that. She wanted to be in the film, but was written out by Ridley Scott. In the original draft, she was to have a minor supporting role...that she was hiding in the catacombs of the alien city. She was to come out at the end to help the Covenant crew escape. Scott has said that he wanted to instead focus on David and cater to the fans demands for more xenomorphs. So he wrote Noomi out. After production and during re-shoots, he wrote the new part for Noomi...the online only prologue for the movie. She said she was happy to come in for the scenes and would have actually had a hard time playing a larger role, since she was pretty beaten up from filming Unlocked.
