They are not 'one'. And that's why the Substance supplier keeps insisting them to believe 'they are one'. But it can never work out. When two persons are infact different, how so hard they try, can't think of one and eventually would end up in differences in respecting each other.
I doubt the director wanted a 'hot' looking actress with 'sex appeal' that could distract the audience from the substance of the movie; instead, they likely opted for someone quirkier with good shape. After all it's not a Michael Bay movie. The beauty of the movie is that at no nude scene, one would think of ILF intention, and the viewers are still glued to the plot and visuals of the movie.
6.5/10
Nothing new. Just well executed; essentially a remake of Alien: Ressurection - almost the same plot: A Research Space Station researching/harvesting Alien Life ---> Intruders/Visitors arrive -----> a Good Android ------> Xenomorph outbreak ---> Acid falling on body parts scene ----> a Ladder Chase scene ------> Birth of an Alien Hybrid Baby -----> Alien Baby expelled out of space.
Yes, she would face adverse effect if she didn't switch. She was wisely following the rules, given her grown-up & mature age, so we couldn't happen to see any adverse effect and the young version was still being reckless and didn't follow discipline.
The only way to 'not switch' was to terminate the younger version.
Relentlessly grotesque movie ever! To describe, it's one of the most artistically ugly movie ever made.
Absolutely great make-up, prosthetics, acting, cinematography & sound mixing.
We have to ignore any scientific logic here, of course, and view the movie purely as out-and-out paranormal horror and admire its art & execution.
After the movie, you need to see yourself in the mirror! I did, and it gave me a strange sense of ugliness... god knows why!!. Did this happen only to me?
After recently watching Alien: Covenant again after the release of Romulus which raised my appreciation for Covenant even more, it goes like this:
Alien
Aliens
Alien: Covenant
Prometheus
Alien: Romulus
Alien: Resurrection
Alien3
The recording simply speeded-up the process.
As detectives, someday, Batman & Gordon would have eventually found out about the Rat with evidence - This is what we have to believe and what Riddler believed.
Btw, major contribution of solving the case was done by Catwoman only. She discovered the dead body of Annika, she found out that it was Kenzie who killed her, she was the one who found and captured Kenzie and finally she only discovered the voice message.
Batman and Gordon just happens to flow through the plot alongside. Well, this is I'd say a characteristic of Film-Noir.
No....so far two only.
The 2nd & 3rd of your list is the same. Yes, personally, I also disliked how the black goo behaved when dropped, like a swarm of micro-insects instead of behaving downright like a mutant.
The Spores again were released by the fungus mutated by the remnant black goo that leaked out of the crashed spaceship.
Z-01 is a mess because it gave birth to an Engineer!! Anyway, if Rook rightfully refined the original strains, then it was again the same black goo, the bio-weapon in Prometheus, recreated.
<blockquote> Precisely the first scene of Prometheus shows that the Engineers mixed the black gloo ( which never IS explained what the hell IS, because of the damn Damon Lindelof) with their own DNA To create the human race. </blockquote>
The Preface scene shows the Engineer drinking a different kind of Black goo (dark but multi-colored. <i> https://skinwalker.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/prometheus-analysis-part-vi-b-black-goo-what-could-it-be/ </i> ) designed to disintegrate the Engineer body and rebuilt the DNA into smaller organisms (aquatic life) - seed life.
The Black goo which we see being produced at LV_223 was a bio-weapon.
I know your IQ is a single digit number; calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate both are white powder, You'd still say...hey they both are the same chemical compounds because they're white!!
Btw, going by your logic, Rook didn't need Xenomorph to derive black goo. He could have derived from Humans themselves!
Do some math exercises daily, read newspapers & help your parents for whatever task they'd give - Might just paddle your frozen mental gears.
Covenant.
Romulus is also a good movie. Had some great thrills & concepts. It is like a sophisticated version of Alien: Resurrection. I think if Covenant is not getting a sequel, then this is the only chance to take forward what Scott attempted to do. Now, since the Corbelan crew are carrying Black Goo on their route to Yvaga, a sequel can further explore what covenant did, with different variation of Aliens & Alien Lifecycle.
I would rate 7/10 for it's thrills, cinematography, art direction, concepts (Ring Planet), acting by David Jonsson, body horror.
Whereas it had cliches like that of a character who turns against his fellow friends after getting controlled by the bad guy and then snaps out at the end to fight back the bad guy (Toy Story 3, The Avengers, IJ & the Temple of the Doom etc.), typical Elevator shaft & ladder chase (Hollow Man, Alien: Resurrection).
Whereas also had some 'not so good' areas such as out of the way rapid & quick growth of Aliens especially the hybrid baby which grew into a 10 ft. giant within not more than 5 minutes. Rook, 'the know it all' convenient contrivance character introduced by the writers just to have things which they wanted.
At the end of the day, in one line....this is a sophisticated version of Alien: Resurrection
<blockquote>Of course, xenomorphs were born because an Engineer was infected by a mollusk product of a pregnant woman infected by the black gloo, very logic and not convoluted at all </blockquote>
You are deliberately making it sound convoluted by simply using word infected instead of facehugged/impregnated and carrying a fertilized egg by a black goo mutated sperm wherever necessary; whereas its quite true to the Alien universe and the steps of the lifecycle.
Let's not continue on this. Readers who'd like to agree with you will agree with you and vice versa for me.
<blockquote> And what about the zombie with the Big head? And the scientists Who are afraid of some fossils but seconds after touch a eel made of Black gloo like if It is a cute cat? </blockquote>
The Zombie (Fifield) came in contact with the Black goo and mutated into something with predatory characteristics. That's what the Black goo was, a mutant with Protomorph DNA
Dr. Holloway was also infected but his exposure was very small and so his mutations were slow but before he could have mutated into a Zombie, he committed suicide by getting burned down by Vickers.
The geologist & the Biologist sensed a threat to their life after seeing the dead Alien corpse. And it was only the biologist who tried to tame the snake with hand movements which usually biologists do. The geologist didn't try to Pet the snake. He was afraid. Had HE tried to tame the snake....THEN THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOGICAL INCONSISTENCY. As a biologist, he was just curious like any other biologist and he was in a protective suit and wearing a helmet.
<blockquote> if you touch </blockquote>
What you touch?!
Worms entered the pool of the black goo and they got mutated.
<blockquote> if you fuck infected with it </blockquote>
Obviously the sperm too would be infected and so the fertilized egg and hence a birth of Facehugger (Trilobite) because Facehuggers comes from the Egg stage!
<blockquote> that turns into a giant in two hours </blockquote>
Really? Then you should be bashing Alien: Romulus left & right! This one's a hell of a double standard.
And it was much more than two hours. Watch the movie again. So many things happened from her delivering the baby and returning back to the lifeboat.
<blockquote>infects an Engineer....with a xenomorph, take that!</blockquote>
He was facehugged!! And you do know the outcome after one is facehugged.
Seriously, if there's anything inconsistent, it's your brain!
I'm not saying Scott's prequels were perfect. I didn't like the way Black Goo vases were bombarded in Alien: Covenant which turned into a swarm of insects - as I always saw it as a mutant liquid. That, I would say rather inconsistent/unexplained or too contrived so as to fit as per the writer's choice.
Oh Wow! So convenient.
I'm sure when asked by your teacher what's the square root of 256, you would have replied 'I don't know where to start but it's like...how 3 is for 9'
Enough chatting with you!
What was inconsistent in Prometheus??
Logical inconsistency is logical inconsistency irrespective of whether you liked Prometheus or not.
And it's also true that Fede could have remained consistent, created a new variation and yet made it terrifying.
That creature was a lame reminiscent of the Alien baby as in Alien: Resurrection. It was not even terrifying; just creepy!
And the Black Goo DOES NOT have Engineer's DNA. The Black goo was originally manufactured by the Engineers as a Bio-weapon using DNA of the Protomorph (Original creature proposed in Prometheus and as reflected in the Mural of the Black Goo brewing room) so the following mutations will result into variations carrying its predatory characteristics. It was shocking to see the logical inconsistency of the alien baby emerging as a Xeno-Engineer Hybrid. This was just a desperate contrivance to tie up with Prometheus.
It was a lost opportunity. Had they used the concepts of Ultramorph or a different version of Deacon; it would have been truly terrifying and marked the launch of a new creature while saying good bye to the over-played Xenomorphs.

Oh really?.....Great then!
I'm curiously waiting for 23rd - the day its releasing in my country.
