The photo on the screen of the dead NYC couple shown in the FBI HQ was garbage. Just so so bad. It looked like cgi models that weren't textured in their final render.

The fire plume black lodge window appearing in the casino over and over was godawful.

Episode 4 left me feeling like it was a fake episode that Showtime made just in case a staff member leaked things early. Christ did it shake off the positive feels I had from the first two.

The biggest unanswered question of this movie: Just WHO planted that them there wheat?!

Not true. Noomi is seen…in parts and pieces for far longer.

Eh, they're also clearly obscuring his damaged hand in ways that it wasn't in any scene prior. That was all the tip off you needed. And near the end it's clearly shown that the hand is cleanly cut instead of bitten.

The whole solar array deployment/damage/repairing intro sequence was far too long and complicated considering that it only functioned to deliver the radio broadcast plot device.

There was no reason and no forgiveness for the late movie Alien POV shots. Holy shit was that unnecessary, and not even in line with how Alien 3 showed the Alien POV. Hell, this movie went out of it's way to say "fuck it" to most of the established alien mythology.

Sadly, Convenant wants to forget about chest-bursters too.

This movie generally does not have a handheld style, so you will be fine for going IMAX. It is a vision no doubt.

He also had a cleanly severed hand instead of a bitten off stump.

The way it easily wants to retconn the logic, lifecycle of the alien, and original discovery of the alien (in Alien) is shocking. Ridley wants to make scifi movies, but please get him away from this series.

It only makes sense in the context of Prometheus, but not the broader context of the enter series. It's actually scary how easily it wants to retconn the series foundational rules of the alien lifecycle and the original 79' movie's discovery of the alien. This is not the same movie series at all, and honestly,…

I have to say, I was impressed with how many random elements from earlier in the season started to drop into the story later on. It didn't exactly work, but it was admirable in its quiet ambition.

Also good to see that this movie is making very deliberate steps to have a racially diverse cast while also making it no big deal.

This very much looks more like a Marvel Spiderman movie vs a Sony Spiderman movie. Glad that those two mega corps could get their shit together.

Bacon ends are the best. Not even a joke.

A lot of the "Arnold" code can be interpreted as the hosts' inner dialogue. In their heads it's literally Arnold. But realistically, there are finite choices a person/host would take based on their personality and observed behavior. Humans are programmed too. We are not totally unpredictable creatures.

There were a lot of people at the party, but we only know of Charlotte and William. A (potential) massacre of a hundred nameless board members plus two regular characters doesn't have any real consequences.

The hosts never really came off as less than human to me. Aside from scenes of them in debug mode in the labs, nothing about how they acted or behaved was less than human aside from being in a literal loop. But even that repetition didn't have a mechanical sense to it, rather an air of inevitability.
