1. "Alien: Covenant", which I didn't care much about, became my highest expectation in 2017;
2. "Prometheus" is an absolute visual feast in the science fiction theme, and perhaps the purest taste of the few "science fiction" movies in the new millennium (rather than the aggregation of science fiction elements or the borrowing of genre templates), But it is not a masterpiece, not even a masterpiece (all kinds of unrelated details holes), in my opinion it is a trailer for a movie (or a series) that is very likely to become a masterpiece;
3. Although " Prometheus is known as the "Alien Prequel", and has achieved a seamless connection with "Alien 1" in terms of obvious plot echoes and style inheritance (all climbed out and showed you wantonly), but "Prometheus" " is almost a fundamentally opposite work to the existing four-part series of "Alien", no matter in terms of conception, perspective or vision.
I guess that Mr. Scott will use a form of "voyage exploration" similar to "Star Trek" to find the relationship between human "belief in authority" and "own status": one day when the level of human technology Having the ability to seek/prove/question the Creator also indicates that the development track of science and technology is enough to link the cause and effect of religious beliefs. When we reach this point in the future, will "technology" and "belief" be? Will it be the same? Or cause the destruction of the former to the latter? And no matter what the answer is, we must break its "sacredness" in the excision of the sense of distance, so after getting the answer, will we be more determined to one side? Or will it become more delusional? At the same time, we are also slowly gaining the ability to "create" in this development. What kind of contradiction and cycle will all of this form with them who "created us"?
So I thought that the sequel direction it indicated was somewhere between "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Mission to Mars". "Prometheus" asks these questions in the alien worldview, and all the follow-up to answer these questions, starting with next year's "Alien: Covenant".
So, so, to sum up, to sum it up, once again, Alien: Covenant directed by Ridley Scott himself is already my highest expectation for next year, no one.
