Oh, wow, if they manage to keep the quality level the same as with Prometheus, they'll have ended up making six sequels in a row that nobody liked! That must be some sort of record?

From a strict narrative sense, Prometheus is riddled with every conceivable kind of inconsistency and logical lapse. But you could say that about Lynch's films, or Jodorowsky (and Aeon Flux). To read such works literally is missing the point.― Peter Chung, Monday, 30 November 2015 03:30 (9 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

no, to read a supposedly realist SF film as a surrealist masterpiece is missing the point

Ah c'mon - no Noomi Rapace or Damon Lindelof. That at least improves the likelihood that it'll be better than Prometheus.

Are you really criticizing Noomi Rapace

How dare you! In Prometheus she had the best Swedish accent someone whose character was raised in India by an English father could have!

Noomi Rapace isn't in the sequel? I thought it was supposed to follow up on the cliffhanger of the first movie?

Prometheus ended with Shaw and David striking out for the Engineers’ home world in search of answers. As previously reported, Alien: Covenant picks up about ten years after the events of Prometheus, and follows a colony ship, the Covenant, that lands on a planet whose sole inhabitant is Fassbender’s character David. We’ve been wondering how Shaw would fit in, even as Scott has teased that Rapace would have a “minor” role in the movie, and it doesn’t come as a huge surprise to hear she’s now been cut from the film completely.
As the best things about Prometheus were Fassbender, and Scott's visual flair, I'm okay with them jettisoning everything else if they're going to continue with this franchise.
― painfully alive in a drugged and dying culture (DavidM), Friday, 12 February 2016 12:32 (eight years ago) link
If I have a criticism of Noomi Rapace it's that her name sounds like the title of an Alien movie in some weird European language only spoken on the border of France and Switzerland.
Word.

Ha oh yeah I forgot about his head! Best (un?)intentionally funny bit in Prometheus was Noomi Rapace zipping up his head in her duffel bag and apologizing and him saying "It's quite alright."
