Alien: Covenant Or Alien With Prometheus Tied In With It As Well

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Ah Prometheus, what was a prequel to Alien that really wasn’t and left so many unanswered questions, Ridley Scott returns to direct Alien Covenant… wait what??? A new Alien movie sign me the hell up, and then watched it at the only to realise I’d just walked out of a Prometheus sequel.

Okay let’s get one thing clear, this isn’t an Alien movie no, it’s a Prometheus sequel with Alien slabbed all over the title, and my god is this film gory, I can take gore as much as any other guy, but Alien Covenant ramps up the gore factor to a whopping ten out of ten, any way the film follows a similar plot to Prometheus meaning a new crew made up of one of the most sorry excuses of a space crew you have ever seen, they make some of the most ridiculous, god awfully bad decisions, for instance when gas is leaking in a confined space what do you do…. you search for the gas leak and switch off the gas…. ah but this crew member thinks it’s wise to shoot a bloody gun while gas is leaking, while I was repeatedly yelling at the screen yelling “you silly woman don’t shoot the gun” suddenly she shoots the gun and KABOOMMMM!!!! the spaceship blows up “insert slow clapping GIF here”

Boy this film was bad, I hated this movie for one or two reasons, one the plot went absolutely nowhere once they landed on the god forsaken planet, two the crew were possibly the most dumbest crew members I have ever had the displeasure of watching on a cinema screen, Ridley Scott hang your head in shame for this is the worst instalment of the Alien…. sorry Prometheus saga ever since Resurrection, seriously give resurrection a miss it’s really bad… final score 0/0 until next time guys catch ya later 🙂

The Belko Experiment… What Even Was This Movie

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Oh boy this one is a doozy of a film, by that I mean it was awful, I had heard of this film for quite some time as it kept popping up on my recommended list on YouTube clips, trailers and sneak peeks, I went in blind and came out feeling sick to my stomach after watching this, it really is a mess of a film.

The Belko Experiment follows eighty people in a Colombian office block, for reasons unknown they send only the Colombian employees away only keeping the American employees, said employees have a chip in their head said to be a tracker, ah but a tracker it is not no it is in fact a tiny ball bearing explosive (yeah you can see where this is going) so all out war ensues, and our American office workers are forced to kill each other.

Now I for one hated this film, I mean it was a huge pile of dog faeces the plot was terrible as were the decisions made by the characters in the movie…. now I’m going to throw in a disclaimer for people who are easily offended (you have been warned) I can only compare it to the selection process made by Nazi troops in Auschwitz, that decision was basically people who have kids under the age of eighteen to the left and people who are fifty or over to the right, we then get a lovely Latin American rendition of the classic Mamas and The Papas song California Dreaming, the people who are fifty and over are then shot in the head.

Trust me the soundtrack gets even better as one final massacre occurs all while Tchaikovsky’s Concerto No.1 In B Minor plays… oh did I mention right at the start of the film we get a Latin American version of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, yeah the soundtrack guy really needs to have his head checked.

All in all The Belko Experiment is a right bloody mess of a film it’s horrible and made me feel really uncomfortable watching certain scenes, particularly when one of the employees pulls out his wallet and shows us a picture of his children only to have them tossed on the floor and for the guy to be shot in the back of the head. So do yourself a favour and give The Belko Experiment a miss and if someone ever offers you an opportunity to work in an office in Colombia think twice and say “hell no nah ah nope no way Jose” trust me give this film a miss, final rating 0/0 until next time guys catch ya later!

Move over Ghost Protocol Mission Impossible 5 is the best one yet

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

So as you can see I went to watch Mission Impossible 5 or Rougue Nation, and I have to say wow! What an entry we have here to the Mission Impossible franchise, the stunts were amazing it makes you wonder how Tom Cruise is still alive after doing this stunts, since he doesn’t use a stunt double he does all the stunts himself. 

The film stars Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Alec Baldwin and for all you people who wanna know the run time it was 135 minutes (two and a half hours) long so it isn’t at all long at all, oh and it’s directed by Christopher Mcquarrie (he directed Jack Reacher) unfortunately I can’t tell you the plot because there are a hell of a load of spoilers normally I would spill the beans but so much goes on in this film that I would not like to reveal, so let’s dive in.

Okay I can say about the stunts in the film and I wanna draw your attention to the first stunt at the opener of the film where Ethan Hunt appears and jumps on to a Russian cargo plane carrying neurotoxins called nerve gas, he hangs on to the door asking fellow field agent Benji to open the door suddenly the plane takes off with Tom Cruise hanging on to the door, now that stunt was impressive I loved the way it was shot (the cinematographer has done an amazing job) I mean the whole film as a whole was shot perfectly, oh and that soundtrack though, there’s a part in the film which takes place at a showing of Turandot (a famous Italian opera) a fight breaks out all to the tune of Nessun Dorma, now that was really effective I mean I had shivers down my spine, my heart was racing, I’m not saying no more because I don’t want to ruin the story. 

Now let’s talk about the cast, now I said this last time I watched a Mission Impossible film and that is “my god Tom Cruise has surpassed himself with the stunts this time round” and boy does he I mean for a 50 year old guy (yeah I couldn’t believe it either when I heard) he can do some impressive stunts, then there’s Simon Pegg as Benji now just like Ghost Protocol Pegg is absolutely hilarious in this film I mean he is my favourite character in the film, he does have some amazing lines in this, also returning is Jeremy Renner as analyst William Brandt, now I like Jeremey Renner but Christ on a bike I can’t stand his character, I mean whenever Ethan came up with a plan he always popped up saying NO!!! We cannot do that, now look I understand he is trying to do what’s best but my god Ethan has been doing this since the 90s you’ve come along in Ghost Protocol, any who he wasn’t the only character who I didn’t like, Rebecca Ferguson’s character is irritating as hell I mean one second she’s good next she’s a villain, then you’ve got Alec Baldwin as Hunley a guy trying to stop the team from doing their missions, so with that said the cast is pretty impressive I mean really impressive they have all done good jobs. 

So my final opinion on this film well overall it’s very impressive the stunts as I have said before are really awesome, I will give this film a solid 10/10 mainly because of the action and the stunts Oh and the storyline it’s not to complicated and not to confusing to understand any way I hope you enjoyed my review of Rougue Nation and as always catch ya later
