(17,103 posts)I recently made the mistake of watching Alien: Covenant. What a shitty movie. Who's bright idea was the bromance between the two smug snooty arrogant pretentious and oh-so-superior despicable English robots? If there's anything I can't stand, it's pretentious androids with conceited English accents and a superiority complex. It's the old "the butler is superior to the idiots he's butlering but he's also lamely devious" dodge. Then trying to be "really like intellectual" with broken threads of haughty philosophical krap tossed in to "elevate" the "concept." Rubbish
A cast full of I-don't-care-what-happens-to-any-of-these-people forgettables. I hated this movie before the opening credits were even finished. Avoid
I"m sure there are others - I'll be watching the thread to see if anyone fills in the blanks.
