There's also stupid character choices to further the plot, which is arguably a unique kind of plot hole: like the guy answering his coms for no good reason in the middle of that heated room with the face huggers; and the pregnant woman injecting herself with the black goo when it was not necessary and she had no reason to trust it; and the decision to arm up even though they could not fire the weapons, because (they believed) the newly born alien might see the guns as a deterrent? How on earth is a newborn alien supposed to know what a gun is?
They also leave the door open after making abundantly clear they had to heat it up for quite some time. They are essentially letting all the hot air escape. There are plot holes and there are movie breaking plot holes and this movie was riddled with it.
That totally bothered me during the movie, but afterwards I thought, “well, maybe they have amazing space heaters that are able to keep the room temp stable even with an open door.” But that was a huge door. It was basically a whole wall. It totally took me out of the movie at the time, so I agree. It was stupid.
@@JasonStreitfeld Yes! All movies have little plot holes but usually they are minor. This one had several that were movie-breaking for me. Also why do teenagers own a spaceship? Even Ripley had to get one from a huge corporation. She didn't just own one. Also the Alien apparently wanted to prevent Rain from hitting the ground so it saved her. There are tons of other stupid things I could go on and on.
The problem that I have with this film is that I feel like it completely screws with the alien lifecycle. I do appreciate the addition of the cocooning, but since when is it the case that 30 seconds after someone is impregnated with an egg, they have a chest burster? In every other case we’ve seen, there’s always a certain gestation period after implantation. Now it’s like the virus from 28 days later.
What I don’t understand is Romulus is set 22 years or so after Alien, but Ripley was not found for 57 years after blowing up the Nostromo. So how did the company know what happened? At some point in Romulus I’m sure someone referenced “a crew member (Ripley) blowing an alien out into space”. How did they know?
I am sure they went looking for the Nostromo after they lost communication. And they were always aware of the Alien species. So, they knew the crew had come in contact with it and went to check.
The facehugger isn't a plothole. Rook made it clear that they were able to successfully breakdown the xenomorph genome and reverse engineer the black goo
Engineers created the black goo on accident which wiped them out in Prometheus. David (watch the Prologue) "learned of their ways" when he took their ship (Prologue should have been in Covenant, made no sense to just be a trailer). David then knew everything they were doing and created what the actual Deacon the Engineers were trying to create but he ultimately found out he needed a human female to accomplish this. David pretty much figured out what the Engineers failed at, hence why he needed the gal at the end of Covenant and the xenomorph embryos he stashed in his throat to create the Lord deacon wherever his next location would be. Just need that next movie lol
@@myreview-aaronfischerthey could make an entire movie just with the Prologue "Adventures of David & Shaw" and cram it full of all the information we needed to know feom both Prometheus & Covenant. Just watched Covenant again last night, man I love those 2 movies. Even got the David's creations book.
@@myreview-aaronfischerPrometheus should have been 4 hours and probably the same for Covenant. People wouldn't be so down on them if they would have told the complete stories and flushed everything out that needed to be told. Ridley almost had too many ideas and editing for time, did nothing positive for either.
@erikrodriguez3829 I didn't say that, he perfected what they were doing. Engineers needed a human female to create the decon and David figured this out with Shaw but she died and he got his female at the end of Covenant.
I like how not everything is explained, as it gives fans something to speculate with each other. And the first Alien movie is classed as a horror. The tag line was 'In Space No One Can Hear you Scream', and was a high concept movie of 'Jaws in space'.
They are putting out a prequel comic book story that should fill in the reverse engineering plot hole. It comes out in October. I loved the movie. Can't wait to see what is next.
There is a prequel comic book coming out soon that I am hoping will explain how they made the face huggers and what happens when big chap wakes up and starts killing people.
I enjoyed the beginning the most as well, Aaron. I was entertained for sure. I liked it. But I was still a tad dissatisfied that there wasn’t a little more acting and thought like Prometheus . It was genuinely tense though and a cool straight up horror.
The plot hole i picked up on was at the very beginning of Romulus. So they find the first alien in with the floating wreckage of the Nostromo. Ripley destroys the Nostromo and escapes on a smaller shuttle later finding out the alien is on the craft with her, later blasting it out into space. So how come the alien was then found in the wreckage of Nostromo?
Plus the Nostromo was nuked. Any fragments not instantly vaporised would now be hurtling through space at immense velocity, not drifting along gently with the alien.
I’ve had this issue with all the alien films that ise DNA to make facehuggers . It’s made no sense through the franchise. I’ve left it alone but it’s a valid point .
Also please see the short films of alien and comment what do you think , ALIEN MONDAY, and from Ruben Caro ALIEN ODYSSEY, those 2 films are great, specifically ALIEN ODYSSEY has a very interesting history and possibly plot, that hopefully Scott can watch one day and make a great movie in big screen
I can’t stand it when the third act of a film sets up another film. It almost always leads to a weak third act because they are more concerned with creating questions for a sequel to answer then properly concluding a story. It’s one thing if they wrap up a story and then maybe in a post credit scene leave questions for a future film. It’s another to do it in the third act itself. I suspect a sequel to Romulus will happen due to its box office success. However, I don’t think a sequel to covenant will happen due to its poor performance and negative reviews.
Great video as always. What i don't understand is that that Space jockey in Alien was fossilised. There's no way could that incident have anything to do with David. Ridley Scott totally messed up.
How about this plot hole? They took a disc from Rook and put it in Andy, thereby changing Andy's directives. Why didn't this change Rook's directives, too? His entire role as antagonist depends on this, and it makes no sense. Also, gravity purges? Why? Third, how could the newborn aliens grow so quickly without eating? Both times we see an alien "born" (once breaking out of a chest, and once in a human birth), the creature almost immediately transforms into an enormous beast . . . without consuming anything in the process. That defies biological sense. One more: Why didn't Weyland-Yutani send a rescue mission to the Romulus-Remus space station? And why was it only days away from crashing into those rings at the start? They made the effort to retrieve that creature from the debris at the start of the film, and then simply ignored the space station when it went to hell and started heading for the planetary rings? Nonsense.
If talking about plot holes & taking this production seriously- I wonder why such elaborate & expensive efforts to create more robust human workers if there are androids? Can anyone explain this to me?
I was thinking the same thing. They can create super strong androids. Why not just keep perfecting the technology they can control instead of dealing with some maniac creation you cannot reason with.
Did David make an egg and facehugger in Covenant with the limited tools he had? If that works how difficult would it be for Rook to reverse engineer some facehuggers?
They should do a PREQUEL to this film taking place in the space station from when they find big chap to the destruction of the station and it ending up in the mining planets orbit and it should be called Remus (Romulus brother that he murdered)
The offspring resembling and xenomorph engineer hybrid isn't a plothole either Prometheus says humans come from engineers even sharing their genetics, 🧬 and the black goo destroys and creates life in various forms, it's not a stretch to a mutation between a human and xeno would resemble some proto hybrid. Engineers are superior humans, wy wanted to evolve humans with the black goo, they didn't perfect the process. It's a 2 way street engineer plus goo creates man in one direction, man plus goo creates engineer in the opposite direction IF you do it properly, otherwise you get various mutations two of which we saw here, the mother and offspring and we saw another in Prometheus with fifeld
They got the facehuggers by reverse engineering big chap . In the process they discovered that the initial solution is the goo. Rook even says "we found the SOURCE OF LIFE" Meaning everything come from the goo. Even engineers ( which is why the offspring looked like them)
Let’s just ignore the absurdity of the Big Chap being found AT ALL in the vacuum of space, so close to the remains of the Nostramo (he’s right there!) despite the fact that Alien establishes that he was shot out of the escape pod which had ALREADY accelerated some distance away from the Nostramo. The fact that Big Chap somehow ‘survived’ is another absurdity the writers just want us to simply accept much like Palpatine appearing in a similar broken mess (TROS) with zero logic or establishment. It’s a shame the ‘writers’ of this mess couldn’t even be bothered to rewatch the original 2 movies as this contradicts/shits all over them both repeatedly.
@@MauriciovanHasselt it gets so much worse! The facehugger that implanted Navarro should never have even succeeded given it was only attached for around 3 - 4 minutes before they got it off. That is WAY too short to implant an embryo given what’s established in the other films and even worse, given that the implantation was successful, the facehugger should have DIED! Did the writers never watch the other movies? Not only that, the fact that Navarro then gives birth to the chestburster not 10 fucking minutes after being implanted? What the actual fuck? That is NOT how that works. But then the writers needed that to be the case or the rest of the film doesn’t take place! It’s such a mess.
We didn’t see Ripley but she was there on the Renaissance station during the movie. The Narcissus shuttle is in the movie twice during the goings on. Love it!! 👌🏻👌🏻 Oh boy.. I’ve had to edit this as I listen. Both your plot holes are whack mate.. you arn’t getting it?? They cracked open big chaps fossilised secretions and had him captured. They were able to do tests on him work back through into his DNA and were able to synthesise this black goo. From this black goo they were able to bio 3-D print face huggers. I don’t see how you don’t understand that? The process was shown when they first walked into that red Cryo room. Rook also explained that they were working on the black goo to strengthen humans for deep space. So no plot hole. As for the black goo producing a Engineer looking hybrid as the offspring, how do you not understand that as well? Prometheus explained to you that the engineers DNA and our human DNA is exactly the same so why wouldn’t it produce an engineer/Xeno abomination? Sorry for the rant like but it’s all pretty obvious or am I… wide the mark?
@@myreview-aaronfischer director Fede Alverez has confirmed that Ripleys escape shuttle is on the space station you can even see it being ejected from the space station when it hits the ringed planet.its a little hard to spot but its there.
This story was never written for this time period. I cant believe that. Its been changed from just after aliens i reckon. If you wrote a story for this time period your primary concern would be the following movie and not conflicting with anything. Take out the prolog, black goo, different final beast. The very thoughtful aesthetic now includes a smart pulse rifle that isnt thoughtless. The ash droid would be less of a problem. This is why they have facehuggers and aliens, because its set post aliens. It was just linked to black goo instead. The silly callbacks sit much better in a side story. This would anger james cameron aswell.
@@myreview-aaronfischer hey aaron, what if James gunn become the president of the USA do you think he would be a good president or a terrible president?
The hype for this movie is ridiculous. I just saw it expecting something along the lines of the first two. What I saw was a shallow, woke, gen z box checked Disney backed pile of crap that blatantly rips off the rest of the series. So this is like the 4th girl boss in a row in the alien franchise to prevail. Clearly men are too pussified to beat an alien.
It's an amazing movie 🍿🎥, and as much as I hate woke movies I'm fair; it wasn't woke. It explained alot and connected many dots, as well females have always been the leading role in the Alien franchise.
So we’re told that Rook and his team of scientists apparently studied the captured xenomorph’s DNA at a molecular level, even going so far as bio-engineering face huggers and the black goo from the aforementioned captured specimen, but then the film also tells us they were ‘surprised’ that it had acid for blood. 🤔 Writing.
I doubt we will ever get the third prequel film but they could touch upon the events of that story with a sequel to Romulus, thus killing two xenomorphs with one film, as it were.
Alien Covenant is very underrated. It has all the tension and threat of an Alien film with added commentary on creation and Gods. It also further answers the question as to why the engineers had planned to destroy mankind in Prometheus. It’s the flashback scene. Look at the consequence of leaving humanity unchecked; David. We are responsible for making David, hence we are responsible for his actions dropping the payload. The engineers could foresee this kind of recklessness way back then. I would’ve liked to have seen his storyline concluded.
I'm not supporting this movie because Pedowood is at it once again: I really HATE the fact that they leave so many great stories incomplete. Alien: Awakening had a great potential. For those who don't know, the main premise for the end of the prequel trilogy was going to be the engineers chasing after David to have their revenge for what David did to the planet we see in Alien: Convenant.
You don’t think the original Alien is a horror movie? Action Suspense/Thriller? 😂
Seriously.
Yup. Sorry Aaron. Can’t agree with that statement of yours at all.
