It's like someone who's only seen off-hand notes on an Abrams, but manages to build a BT-5. The Derelict was a Juggernaut carrying a payload of Xenomorph eggs and it was at least as old as the facility on LV-223. So it was either a weapon transport or a bomber. The difference between that and the one David used to kill the Engineers was that the Black Ooze is far more chaotic in its effects, while Xenomorphs are a product of a very refined version of it, with predictable effects.

most people assume it's CGI but 90% of the Protomorph's scenes are a guy in a suit. watch the behind the scenes. he's a very tall, lanky man. what they do is CGI-blend to make movement etc more seamless. I'm a huge fan of practical effects, it's one reason why The Thing (1982) is my favorite movie of all time, but you gotta recognize the reality and the need for CGI in some situations. My only gripe with the Proto in this movie is - not enough clear shots. Like of it walking upright at the end, so cool, but so dark and obstructed. I also hate that they didn't include the scene from the trailer where it's running through the corridor, wall to wall, in the actual movie.

I didn’t catch the specific mistake at the time, but I remember in the theatre having a very hateful reaction to that shot in particular. Overall I’m not a fan of this dumbed down version of the Xeno. It’s a beautiful design, and some of the shots are rendered well, but overall it’s crap compared to the guys in rubber suits from the first two films. And the movie itself being a dull mess doesn’t help make this final 10 minutes of CGI fan service go down any easier.

Not sure if anyone else notices this. But, when this prototype Xenomorph hisses, there's a ringing sound in it. Much like how "The Big Chap," hissed in the first Alien movie. I love that attention to detail. Plus, it makes the creature sound biomechanical. A less organic.

Something that I read somewhere really resonated with me and I’m not sure if it’s an explanation in a former script, a fan theory or just coincidence.

It just runs about crashing into things and killing like a fast zombie. I think it's safe to assume it IS a zombie.

It's why they worked so well in the Alien movies. Xeno's are slow and calculating killers, not this spasmatic being that's flailing everywhere. It just looks off when they are sped up like this.

I can't fathom how Ridley Scott thought this was good

Xenomorphs are a perfect form of what bug life is like out there in space.

Despite covenant being not good, the Xeno was very well done in terms of visuals, movement and sounds.

I couldn't believe they used fully computer generated xenomorphs, not even any practical effects. Its lazy and destroys suspense, which is what the whole franchise is based upon. Computer creatures cant hurt you. Practical creatures can. And dont even get me started on the alien 'vision' at 2:04. Ridley Scott is taking the piss with this movie.

A movie about xenomorphs and they have about 3 mins onscreen? Ridiculous.

I hated it. I am one of the few people who actually wanted to see more exploration with the Engineers and how they were trying to experiment with the Xenomorphs so they could weaponize them and hopefully get a connection to the space jockey in the original Allen film. But instead we got a movie where all the engineers were wiped out in a 2 minute flashback scene. And instead of Xenomorphs being these mysterious creatures that have always existed they are now creations of David so basically they only exist because of humans. Lazy shitty writing.

While this film is beautiful to watch and one of my favorites of the franchise, I read the book and it was so much better than the movie. A lot more intriguing dialogue, and the Proto/Xenomorph fights and kills a Neomorph.

This thing was the epitome of being nigh unstoppable. It was brutal, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and hellbent on destroying anything in its path. This thing was more like a weapon of war, like the White Spikes from Tomorrow War, and is not as precise as it’s later counterpart. Not as refined. But beautifully horrific and devastating.

both of these films were like a fever dream lmao and I mean that in the *worst* way possible

this is why Alien and Aliens are still the strongest. In the future movies can we please go back to the old school and build REAL physical creatures that's actually there. This looks more like a video game. Get rid of CGI.

seeing fast-moving xenomorphs become the norm makes a rewatch of the first Alien look weird in hindsight. it's so slow-moving, sinuous, almost sadistic and sexually-predatory in its unnerving slithery movements, then in every other movie after the first it's instead agile and overtly aggressive, running and pouncing almost like a velociraptor or a big cat

Not a xenomorph a protomorph

In space, noone can hear you "Skreeeeee."

The sound design for this is so metallic and screechy compared to the xenomorph we're used to. I guess because this is a "protomorph"? Not a big fan of the prequels but visually it's pretty nice looking and definently a feral ancestor of the xeno.

The baby protomorphs litttle scream was too cute.

I’m absolutely flabbergasted that Ridley Scott of all people didn’t see the value of having a model/costume alien... any close ups from any alien film which uses this looks so much better than what we see here... how could you not want to? I’m trying to image being in charge of a film and not wanting to see that amazing work that can be done on set and have the actors interacting with it...

The odd part is the part where it matures that rapidly. It’s not a chestburster like in original iconic alien films which as a fan always made me feel off about this film. I would also like to think the engineers would have been smarter than David and humans to not allow themselves to have become extinct in such a way. The movie was kind of a throw off… I would have thought the aliens were the pets of the engineers and David in some odd twist and gripe against humanity would have thrown in with them and lured the humans into some trap where the humans became a spectacle being hunted by the xenomorphs and then maybe the xenomorphs (doing what they do)…. Escape and cause havoc all around. Why Ridley Scott ignored my script ideas is beyond me 😂?

Geiger was raving insane!

Xenonorph IQ so high that he knew to destroy the camera so he couldn’t be watched or know where he was located.

I love the creepy soundtrack at the beginning of this video! So cool

1:00 Ridley Scott directed this movie, as well as the original. In the first film, he mastered capturing the terror of not seeing the creature on camera the whole time. You as the viewer feel the same fear of the characters. Quick glimpses, and slower more sinister movements is what made it more scary. Here, we see c.g.i that is so bad, its pretty close to that of the Sy-Fy channel movies, with a creature in broad daylight running faster than a chicken. There is no fear, or suspense in its presence. Hard to believe its the same directior. Its like he lost his touch.

The Protomorph looks more organic than the xenomorph. After the events of Covenant, David must've infected part of the ship's passengers and managed to continue his research into perfecting the creature. That's when he adds the biomechanical part of its anatomy as it finally becomes the xenomorph we all know. Maybe he encounters more engineers on another planet but they take his work, destroy him and then set off to transport newly created eggs to a safe location (LV-426) but along the way something goes wrong and the ship makes a crash landing...

Love how we get to see the killing Machine side of the xenos in a film because in the others it was just creeping around

Ngl, his chestbuster is really cute

This is the best xenomorph we have ever had on live action... You could see how much it loved to kill, it thirsted for it, didn't care how hurt it would get, it just wanted to kill. Absolute psychopath

I actually like this variant of the Xenomorpth better than the 79 version. It acts more natural (or as much as it should do).

Only part of Covenant that was half decent. Loved how violent & nasty this Protomorph was, Xenomorphs are more deadly but they seem to kill you swiftly and quickly unless they taking you alive back to the nest to be a host. This was just animalistic and bloodthirsty and was straight up mauling people. Hoping the next Alien project with have a mix of both, the terrifying Xenos hiding and stalking you in the dark but also having a Xeno close to the protomorph that just wants to turn you into a bloody mist.

Actually this thing is acting normal. If you read the comics the xenos usually behave like this especially in a hive or on the homeworld. Look at alien isolation the xeno mercs groups of people by chasing them down. The only reason the og big chap didn't was because of the limitations of the time. Even aliens , alien 3, ressurection ect. Have the alien be hyper agressive while still being in the shadows like this xenomorph. I actually like this xeno more than the og big chap and warrior xeno (i know heresy hang me in the streets) i live those movies A HELL OVA LOT MORE but if they ever did a remaster with modern tech but keeping everything else the same id want to see this xeno design

David did not invent the Xenomorphs. he merely followed the Engineer recipe. maybe couldnt follow it exactly. hence the different behaviour and different looking chestburster

...And then a Pulse Rifle can kill hundreds of these critters like it's nothing lmao.

One thing no one ever mentions but creeps me the fuck out is at 2:22 when he walks upright like a person... they've never done that and it looks uncanny as hell.

I wish they'd had the chestburster more like the original alien. I guess the David variant differs with a much faster life cycle.

The OG Xenos are better I think then Davids one. I bet hands down an OG would beat the acid out of Davids lol

Was never a big fan of this movie, but that shot at 2:29 was one of the coolest shots in the Alien franchise.
