I laughed so damn hard at the beginning. I was like, "Oh, I didn't realize James Franco was in this movie. Cool." And then BOOM! He just erupts into flames and the movie wanted us to feel sad about the chicks husband dying when we knew nothing about him.
Oh god yes, the characters were all so stupid it was unbelievable. The captain especially. That, more than anything else, made the movie less enjoyable. It's hard to care about someone when they're literally too dumb to live. (While watching the movie, I didn't laugh at the scene leading up to the shuttle exploding, not because it wasn't funny, but because I was in too busy alternately staring incredulously at the screen and facepalming. I actually felt second-hand embarrassment for her. XD) And at 3:20 I snorted at the exact same time as the Honest Trailers guy. Made me laugh harder than the actual line. XD
Sysseth I, too, was quite pissed on how those scientists acted so stupidly. From abandoning their mission planned for who-knows-how-long to not wearing any helmet just because they can breathe without the aid of one. Like WTF is wrong with these people.
I am always checked in chess Yeah, I mean, it's not too hard to come up with a decent plot reason to divert their course--just make it so the ship is too damaged to make it to their original destination, boom, the captain's no longer an idiot for making that choice. But nope, they just couldn't go that route. And there's no possible way to excuse the total lack of caution they display while stomping around on an alien planet, even before bad things happen. I'm more careful walking around _my own yard_ than they were at any point. :/ Instead, I'm headcanoning the "cryogenics kills brain cells" theory. Yep. They're running around acting like they don't have two brain cells to rub together because they really _don't._ ...That was a joke, but in retrospect, it does make more sense that way. XD
When I watch the flute scene from Alien: Covenant a 2nd or 3rd time, I roll my eyes. When I watch the flute scene from Star Trek: TNG the 2nd or 3rd time, I have tears in my eyes. One of the best TNG episodes EVER. Totally sci fi, but peculiarly relatetable.
When I watched that scene with the quarantine room in the theater, I was laughing all the way through. But when the girl returned with the shotgun and slipped in the same blood puddle the second time, I totally lost my shit. And one more time with the egg, when Fassbender said "it's completely safe, I assure you" XD
Honest Trailers practically sums up my feelings about the movie: Stunning visuals and cinematography, but Holy God the stupidity levels of all the characters are astonishing.
The shower scene enraged me. The other crew members died like 10 minutes ago, most of them in horrific ways, you are aware of this, and you go to a secluded place with music so loud you can't communicate to have sex? You idiots deserved to die.
Maybe, ZeroB4NG. I have to agree with Honest Trailers about Humanity sending their dumbest people off into space. That would make for a quasi-humane death for a bunch of people you won't want to further polluting the human gene pool. What would really top off that quasi-humane death scheme would be putting the dumbest of the dumb onboard into leadership roles. Also I hadn't seen a Second-in-Command character resist being First-in-Command for so long and much of the movie since Supernova.
Stunning visuals though? I've not seen the movie yet, but judging from the CGI seen in this honest trailer lets me really think otherwise - it looks kinda cheap (e.g. around 1:51 )
Kemal Alis it was just another boring Alien film. It had the potential to introduce the engineers and dig deeper into that story line, but instead chose gratuitous violence and guns instead.
True but then you have to think about the flute scene where David teaches him to "create", he already violated the laws at that moment, especially when he began to play by himself.
Yep, saw that coming - so predictable. But why the hell did David breathe a sigh of relief in the last battle in the terraforming dock when he saw Daniels was okay? Clearly nobody was around to see his reaction....
Picard' flute sold at Christie's for $48,000 ($40,000 plus fees). When someone told Patrick Stewart this he laughed and said "it doesn't play, it's not a real flute". It was just a prop that doesn't make music (or probably any sound) and they added music someone else played afterwards
Thanks Nic, this whole time I pictured it was some nerd buying it to put it on his wall. Now all that I can picture is that nerd licking sir Pat's spit off the flute.
They were just a bunch of space truckers in the first Alien. Here it's a huge colonization mission with hundreds of people in stasis. They're bound to have superior tech.
It's still too much of a gap,almost everything was analog in the Nostromo, I mean, did you see the dam central computer? (Which is not consistent with completely artificial beings but whatever), thats not about being a less fancy ship, its clearly not the same techs, àd keep in mind this movie is a prequel.
I personally think the Nostromo could be explained as something built way way earlier than what the encyclopaedias have listed it as. If it were say a 50-year old trawler, I think it could help explain some of the technological differences. But the fact is, that as cool as the analog aesthetic comes off, it does really come off as dated and I can't really fault them for updating the look especially if they're gonna keep Weyland as this company that's always that threatening. Nostromo's tech could be just them really saving up on what they spend on freelancers, same with how they stripped the Fury 161 facility to the bare bones in Alien 3.
I don't think it can be explained, b/c Ridley has made zero attempt to make the "prequels" look aesthetically like Alien. Alien was practically a fantasy movie with a sci-fi setting made in the late-70s. The costumes and the design of the ships kind of point to this, imo. There was no actual date for the events in the movie. It was just set in "the future". The new movies have actual dates and try to extrapolate modern technology to 50+ years from now. It simply looks too modern compared to Alien. IMO, I don't believe Ridley is really making legit Alien prequels. I feel he's making his own sci-fi movies that have the alien creature/mythos as a selling point.
3:30 finally someone else mentioning it. Although I liked covenant. I thought it was a really cool origin for the xenomorph and really liked fasbenders characters. But I wouldn't believe for a second that any of the other characters were professionally trained astronauts
Good point. Basically, there was one wonderfully creepy android (classic Frankenstein 'kill your creator' trope) and one very, very endearing one. But those idiots were supposed to be scientists? How can somebody have that much experience in writing movies and not find some non-idiotic ways to kill off characters? I get somebody opening a quarantine room because a loved one is in there - you can have one slip of sanity in a scary situation. But that gang seems hell-bent to not leave a single mistake out.
A film that wants you to ask questions like "Who are we?" and "Why are we here?", but will have you asking questions like "Who are these people?" and "Why are they here?".
I know.. it's always weird to me that Aliens is a favorite by such a large number of people. The original is just perfect. How can you choose Aliens and be soooo close.. yet still so far lol.
Manuel Granados Vargas Aliens (the sequel) is just a straight up action film. It works because of James Cameron but it definitely is far from the scifi horror genre the others have aspired to be.
I only remember two scenes with flute. If you notice they only concentrate on one scene because that's pretty much all there was. I call this a "reach" on screen junkies part.
If Douglas Adams was still alive to consult, he would have come up with a more convincing B Ark for the colonists to be on. This one didn't even have a single telephone sanitizer!
Man, this honest trailer was one of the best. I laughed so hard throughout the whole thing. It's sad, but no Alien movie had people making bad calls as much as this one. So sad to see Ridley Scott trying so hard to shove his point of view in life down our throats like a freaking face hugger. Just give us crude horror and action; it worked wonders in the first two.
Hey guys, don't worry. I recently binge watched all honest trailers and after looking at the comments, I realized that Screen Junkies do answer all their fan requests. In about 2 years from the date of posting. Which means we'll get Pulp Fiction at least within next year.
xDagger Jesus can you stop asking for films that are not available out home release as they would just show the trailer and do their normal narration so it would just be pointless and unfunny
That snort of laughter at the fingering line was exactly the same noise everybody made in the screening I saw. Never heard that many people do that at once before.
Ignore all the engineers, where do we / they come from nonsense, the one thing this film totally ruined... Ripley! In Alien she was an amazing character who went from meek/normal to scrambling survivor, to Aliens where she faced her demons and really became hard-boiled. The fact that she survives the first encounter means something, to the viewer and her character. The fact she survives the second encounter, and becomes a mother figure (again) to Newt, putting herself in harms way to save Newt again means something to the viewer and the evolution of her character. Then we find out that actually someone else (suspiciously looking exactly the same!?!?) already survived the same thing basically, which to me devalues Ripley's survival and character arc over the first two movies!
actually the 3rd alien movie already devalues everything from the first two movies, first by killing her "daughter" (which makes Ripley's accomplishment from the previous movie pointless) and in the end by killing Ripley herself.
More like, keep Ridley Scott as far away from the script as possible. He's the one who's been pushing them in certain directions and asking for changes.
Franchises with more bad movies then good: Alien Pirates of the Caribbean Transformers Cars/Planes Star Wars (depending what you consider is part of the franchise) Saw Rocky Nightmare on Elm Street Friday the 13th Jaws Terminator Planet of the Apes
Glad someone else picked up on the similarities between David & Walter and David and Lore. David especially reminded me of Lore in the episode 'The Descent Part 2' where he is in control of the Borg outcasts.
Since I took Latin American History in college, and learned about how the Spaniards seemed to send all their craziest and most violent people on expeditions to the New World, and how that seems to be echoed in a lot of history, societies send their lunatics on "adventures" to keep them away from the metropole, I've wondered if Adams' idea was a kind of inversion of that.
Man, they should've collaborated with the Shittyflute channel for this Honest Trailer of Alien: Covenant lol! And please say, "YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA?!" Thanks!

A film that wants you to ask questions like "Who are we?" and "Why are we here?", but will have you asking questions like "Who are these people?" and "Why are they here?".
Nothing will compare to the OG Alien. That movie is damn near flawless.
Damn near? That movie is still perfect.
That and Aliens are what sci fi and horror movies should aspire to be.
I know.. it's always weird to me that Aliens is a favorite by such a large number of people. The original is just perfect. How can you choose Aliens and be soooo close.. yet still so far lol.
Manuel Granados Vargas Aliens (the sequel) is just a straight up action film. It works because of James Cameron but it definitely is far from the scifi horror genre the others have aspired to be.
my favorite part in this movie is when Michael fassbender touches Michael fassbender's flute
He doesn't just touch it, he puts his mouth on it. And then he fingers it.
" Me when I hear 6 more movies are coming.." Scene..LMAO
That's literally how most people feel lol.
Just remember Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5 was sacrificed to make this. Take that any which way you want it.
Dormammu yeah I was lookin forward for that one
and it will never happen
or will it ?
it will never happen
I doubt that would've been much better.
It wasn't sacrificed, Ridley said that there was never a finished script.
Let his film die and never come to fruition.
Am I watching aliens or broke back mountain?
homophobe

It is againts the nature.

That's not real

Broke back Martian!
You do the blowing, Ile do the fingering.
thats me when my girl wont take the shower.
David proceeds to stick a thumb up his ass.
I had the same exact reaction in the cinema as him.
I thought the entire time David would shove that flute into the other androids mouth and out the back of his head any moment to kill him.
TF Deadpool 117 al work the shaft cup the balls and swallow up the gravy
There are now more bad alien movies than good ones... true, true...
rovlad, you forgot that resurrection was a good one
K Bear Hahahahahahaha.
K Bear Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh...depends on your definition of *good*
@@k-bear7707 it was alright at best
@@k-bear7707 Resurrection was the worst of them all lol
Say, "Too bad I hid a boot" backwards still says "Toob a dih I dab oot!"
MIND. BLOWN. PUFF
Dab on the boots
Pshhh not even close to the Spanish counterpart " Anita lava la Tina"
Anita washes Tina? omg
Racecar.
Girafarig.
Wonder if Sununu's fired now.
I'll never look at a flute the same way now
The amount of flute in this movie is too damn high 😤😤
The script was fluted with those moments.
Get it?
Fluted = flooded
I only remember two scenes with flute. If you notice they only concentrate on one scene because that's pretty much all there was. I call this a "reach" on screen junkies part.
ITS A RECORDER NOT A FLUTE
Your laugh when David or whatever said "I'll do the fingering" was priceless 😂 that made me laugh even more
PLEASE say, "I did not believe my eyes when ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep."
BatSnacks24 so u like to make urself believe if planet Earth turned slowly eh?
BatSnacks24 Why is that a meme? I loved that song.
Uno Roeslan Well yeah, but sometimes I find it hard to stay awake when I'm asleep...
would you believe your pants if ten million fire ants
Coming in February:
Alien 6:
Prometheus 3:
Covenant 2
Guess we can thank COVID for saving us from that?
I never finished this. The fact that there are two flute scenes and I didn't even know flutes were involved has me laughing too hard rn 😂 🤣 💀
My Alien love affair died when I quit Prometheus halfway through.
0:23 Looks like we're now even!

Django Unchained Honest Trailer pls
Os bree It's too good for one
Os bree movie damn there flawless lol
Vanburen Studios if they made one for Logan (the best movie ever) then they could make one for Django Unchained
+Phantasm Films what do you mean by "best" and "ever"?
Say "I'm Mary Poppins Y'all
"Data and Lore" -- yes! Loving the Trek reference!
Cara Dax And the Picard flute scene was that much better. Love that melody.
That flute part was nerve racking, it was pure suspense because you had the feeling something was going to happen.
Alien Franchise : Game Over Man, Game Over!
Honest Trailers - The fifth element
Fernando Valenzuela Hermoza hell yes
If Douglas Adams was still alive to consult, he would have come up with a more convincing B Ark for the colonists to be on. This one didn't even have a single telephone sanitizer!
now that you said "Earth has a program to deport the biggers morons", the movie actually makes sense. Dang
Man, this honest trailer was one of the best. I laughed so hard throughout the whole thing. It's sad, but no Alien movie had people making bad calls as much as this one. So sad to see Ridley Scott trying so hard to shove his point of view in life down our throats like a freaking face hugger. Just give us crude horror and action; it worked wonders in the first two.
Hey guys, don't worry. I recently binge watched all honest trailers and after looking at the comments, I realized that Screen Junkies do answer all their fan requests. In about 2 years from the date of posting. Which means we'll get Pulp Fiction at least within next year.
Holy shet we're getting new Alien Honest Trailer (film saga) after 7yrs
Honest Trailers - The Emoji Movie
xDagger Jesus can you stop asking for films that are not available out home release as they would just show the trailer and do their normal narration so it would just be pointless and unfunny
Seagull Man *Cough* Nostalgia Critic *Cough*
Don't forget about IHE lol, he's gonna tear it apart
That snort of laughter at the fingering line was exactly the same noise everybody made in the screening I saw. Never heard that many people do that at once before.
The most hilarious honest trailer I've seen.
"Earth has a secret program to deport world's biggest morons! "🤣🤣
Ignore all the engineers, where do we / they come from nonsense, the one thing this film totally ruined... Ripley! In Alien she was an amazing character who went from meek/normal to scrambling survivor, to Aliens where she faced her demons and really became hard-boiled. The fact that she survives the first encounter means something, to the viewer and her character. The fact she survives the second encounter, and becomes a mother figure (again) to Newt, putting herself in harms way to save Newt again means something to the viewer and the evolution of her character. Then we find out that actually someone else (suspiciously looking exactly the same!?!?) already survived the same thing basically, which to me devalues Ripley's survival and character arc over the first two movies!
actually the 3rd alien movie already devalues everything from the first two movies, first by killing her "daughter" (which makes Ripley's accomplishment from the previous movie pointless) and in the end by killing Ripley herself.
Then the horror of the cloning
Say "Watch me, I'll do the fingering"
Vlad Vale I was disappointed he didn't say it "fluuuuuute" (like bewwwwwbs).
Just give Ridley Scott a DAMN GOOD script already!!!!!!
Or Ridley, could, you know, not actually make the shitty ones he keeps getting handed.
More like, keep Ridley Scott as far away from the script as possible. He's the one who's been pushing them in certain directions and asking for changes.
In space no one can hear you complain
"Cheer as this gaggle of idiots are picked off one by one for their terrible decisions..." x.x DEAD
Franchises with more bad movies then good:
Alien
Pirates of the Caribbean
Transformers
Cars/Planes
Star Wars (depending what you consider is part of the franchise)
Saw
Rocky
Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th
Jaws
Terminator
Planet of the Apes
"I will do the fingering" That makes the movie worth watching!~
Glad someone else picked up on the similarities between David & Walter and David and Lore. David especially reminded me of Lore in the episode 'The Descent Part 2' where he is in control of the Borg outcasts.
Pure poetry: "Maybe Earth has a secret program to deport the world's biggest morons"
HONEST TRAILER WONDER WOMAN!!!!!!!!!
Do Dunkirk or The Emoji Movie
Too soon. Far too soon.
Too bad for it to be too soon!
Teddy N They really should do dunkirk. But if you notice, they don't really do that many "adult" movies.
True, I am so sick and tired of them doing Avengers movies.
parody: ua-cam.com/video/eNQz9Enbnpw/v-deo.html
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy actually had the 'send all your useless population out on a ficticious mission' plotline years ago!
I thought of that, myself lol
Since I took Latin American History in college, and learned about how the Spaniards seemed to send all their craziest and most violent people on expeditions to the New World, and how that seems to be echoed in a lot of history, societies send their lunatics on "adventures" to keep them away from the metropole, I've wondered if Adams' idea was a kind of inversion of that.
androids: "This one time, in Xenomorph camp..."
So...Can we all agree here that the flute sequence had great music....It was so.... soothing!!!!!
Swapan Singhal Admit it: You just liked the fingering. 😉
Neil Haeems Sure good choice
Would have been great to be relaxed and then epic if all hell broke loose..but sadly....nope
Swapan Singhal except it was a recorder not a flute
sean mcInally Sometimes you just close your eyes and listen...thats how calming and peaceful it was
data and lore 👨❤👨
Please do "the mummy of tom cruise" I'M BEGGING YOU
Too soon. Far too soon.
They actually wait for the bluray release if you haven't notice
Those crewmembers had me hating literally 80% of their decisions.
None of them was using any common sense
Only a couple of minutes in and I love this trailer commentary. It's funny because it's true! Great job Screen Junkies.
Forgot to mention that David looks like Iggy Pop with that hair
Don't us cgi Ellen ripley. Sigourney weaver still looks good already
Ahh that Picard flute scene still hits me right in the feels.
We need a honest trailer for marvel netflix shows. Defenders is about to come out
Do Sharknado.
Ethanol 314 already did that Kappa
whatcha say? Sharknado 5 is coming, so another one is needed
Why do I watch honest trailers for movies I've never watched?
Saves you from *ever* having to watch shitty/ordinary movies you've never seen.
Same, i dont even want to see the movie anymore
I really liked Covenant.
Because the honest trailer is way better than the actual movie...
Cause you're in the same boat as I am skipper
Dude, hearing you chuckle over the flute scene had me laughing till I couldn't breathe. Thanks for making this one and sharing!
Man, they should've collaborated with the Shittyflute channel for this Honest Trailer of Alien: Covenant lol!
And please say, "YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA?!" Thanks!
Ariel Sarullo
"Freshman philosophy class" YEAH!
Say: "Mission Report: December 16, 1991"
I think they have done that..
Will S Really? When?
***** oh thxs
Thank you. I couldn't reply to say that I couldn't remember, lol.
You guys ALWAYS hit the nail on the head with every movie you review and never fail to point out LITERALLY all the issues that I have with these movies. The movie industry could do SO MUCH BETTER if they ran stuff by you guys before releasing their abortions to the public. Also you guys give praise where its due as well like in Thor: Ragnarok. Thank you guys for everything you do! You are somehow able to salvage my time and money from seeing a GOD AWEFUL movie that I felt bad about seeing and then I come home and watch your Honest Trailer of it and suddenly I am almost glad I saw it just so I could watch your rundown of how bad it was! The views and likes speak for themselves.
Have you guys thought of teaming up with HISHE? I usually watch both of your skits about a movie back to back.
Inner Light was a beautiful TNG episode. Have that flute solo on my moving songs mix.
you do know he didnt really play that? he was using a prop and they added the music lmfao!!
commentmutant No I didn't. Thanks for the info. It's ok though. Patrick's performance gave the melody real feeling.
They really aren't on a Starship traveling through space, either.
Captain Picard was playing the flute.
Yep, that was probably THE best ST TNG episode ever. Still a better story than Covenant...
Honest trailers: hitman's bodyguard
Too soon. It's just been released in theaters.
Loved that movie.
Yeah that would be great
Please do "The Sixth Sense"
Prometheus was bad, but Covenant makes it look like a masterpiece. Even the camerawork was way better in Prometheus.

Honest Trailers: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Screen Ninja ...so do you really think the Emoji movie is the most fascinating and gripping, character driven masterpiece you have ever seen?
🤔😁😉😎☺
BattleUp Saber, yes, truly the Citizen Kane of animated movies.
Ya do guardians 2
Yudha Bagaskara I think it's the digital out in the States today and the blu-ray comes out in a few weeks, except other countries will probably have to wait like a month as usual for the blu-ray, but that's what we get for getting marvel movies a week earlier in cinemas.
They're probably gonna do it when the bluray comes out, so enjoy this one.
This movie was a huge disappointment
Oh I get it, terminator: very good, terminator 2: still same, other terminators: when does this film end again?,
Alien: very good film, aliens: still same (my opinion), other aliens films: why can’t we rewatch the first 2 films?
