Combined, that leads to a disjointed film that doesn't quite work out. A troubled production led to a changed ending that writer, Joss Whedon, was far from happy about and director, Jean-Pierre Jeuene, didn't always get to stretch his creative wings in the way he originally wanted to. The weakest of the main run of Alien films, Alien Resurrection looks a bit better once you've seen some of what was to come afterwards, but it's still far from great. Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman.Buy Alien: Covenant on Blu-ray at Amazon.It all feels just a bit too familiar and obvious at times. In many ways, Alien: Covenant's greatest strength is that it makes you realize Prometheus is a far superior film than you gave it credit for the first time around, and that's faint praise really. Fans will appreciate its many references to earlier parts of the Alien lore with an uncredited cameo from the likes of Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland, founder and CEO of Weyland Corporation, but few of the characters are sufficiently developed enough for you to care. Defying logic a little too often, it leaps wildly from 'this is so dull' to 'well, that's just ridiculous' and never feels consistent. A decent cast including Michael Fassbender, Billy Crudup, and Katherine Waterston, directed by Ridley Scott, and a screenplay by John Logan of Gladiator fame, it should have had everything going for it.

That's thanks to it being a bit dull, ultimately, and lacking any scares but it has its dumb moments that mean there's a certain 'love to hate' factor in there. It sets things up but fails to succeed with the setup. Predator almost not awful is the fact that you can see it has potential. For the most part, they're wasted here given the dialogue is a bit of a mess, but the special effects were pretty good at the time and it captures the Alien/Predator aesthetic reasonably well. Predator is improved by the presence of some decent talent including Lance Henriksen and Ewen Bremner. In theory, the idea of the Xenomorphs being pitted against a Predator should be fantastic but it somehow weakens both of their influences massively. Predator is slightly better than Alien vs. Cast: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance HenriksenĪlien vs.
