set design is god awful


in prometheus, they had really cool looking sets and costumes. in covenant that takes place after prometheus, they walk out of the spaceship with fur collar jackets and shit. their camera is a shoulder mounted gopro. what the fuck? it even says it's a "ridley scott film" too. the fuck happened to him.

I thought the set was probably the best part about the otherwise lousy film.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/fyYgj2Fpur0

Considering that this film is supposed to come between Prometheus and Alien, I would venture a guess that the budget for Covenant's mission was considerably less. Hence, they used gopro cameras because it still costs money to send information through space.

The mission budgets don't matter...when they keep sending idiots to space.


Perfectly unpretentious backbone of the board.

So you're saying that Weyland-Yutani purposefully sends unqualified people into space with shoddy equipment, expecting them to die? Makes sense.

reply

I know. It's like spending millions of dollars on special effects, hoping no one will notice how bad the script really is...

The music was also completely forgettable. It was only good when they played the Prometheus' soundrack. Which made me want to watch the better movie again.

Covenant felt like a made for TV movie compared to Prometheus.
