***SPOILER FREE REVIEW***

Alien:Covenant is one of the most anticipated movies of the year mainly because its part of the beloved "Alien" saga and because of its great director Ridley Scott, but does it really deliver?

As a fan of Ridley's Sci-Fi work (The "Alien" Saga, Blade Runner and The Martian), I couldn't wait to see this movie and I was almost sure that it's going to blow everyone away. But apparently, after reading most of the user reviews around here, lots of people didn't like it and called it the worst part in the franchise. But anyway, I just watched the movie and here's what I thought:

Alien:Covenant takes place 10 years after the event of Prometheus and I highly recommend that you watch it in order to understand everything going around.

Prometheus as a movie, divided its audience... Alien Covenant did the same here, it divided them too. The reason behind that is that the movie suffers from a forced attempt to link Prometheus with the Alien franchise, and that alone made the audience feel confused about what the movie wants to be. The result to this connection made the film looks different than the others "Alien" films.

The problem with the film was that it never felt like an actual alien movie, it focused too much on the unanswered questions that Prometheus left and sometimes totally forgot about the survival-horror factor.

However, that doesn't mean it's a bad movie.. After all, I have to say I enjoyed it nonetheless. We get to know more about how the Aliens were created and what happened after Prometheus, I think Ridley wanted to please everyone; the fans of the original Alien and the fans of Prometheus, and what you get here is exactly what happens when you mix both of them, and let's not also forget that Ridley's plan at first was Prometheus 2, later named Alien Covenant.

The movie is still worth a watch just for the decent visuals and the great soundtrack and the acting, as for the plot I have to say it's not Ridley's best.

DON'T BELIEVE THE 1/10 NOR THE 10/10.

In the end I would say that Alien Covenant deserves to be watched at least once specially if you're a die hard fan of the franchise, it's far from being a bad film as everyone's saying, but don't get your expectations too high.

*SPOILER FREE REVIEW*

As a huge fan of the first film, I went to watch the movie as soon as it came out. And I have to say I wasn't disappointed at all.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 Offers so much thrills and an awesome cinematic experience, The action starts right from the opening scene and it doesn't end until the last 2 seconds of the film. The people behind the movie just knew how to not make the audience bored, and they succeeded at that.

I have to say that 3D ticket here is worth the additional price, because honestly, if any movie deserved to be really watched in 3D it's this one,It adds so much depth to the scenes and makes the movie alive.

The plot is interesting enough to keep you engaged and the pacing never really drags even with the movie's long duration.

The soundtrack just fits right into its place and it really helped the background quality, providing the best classic songs. The movie is also really humorous and I found it as funny as the first.

Due to the movie's high budget, the scenery is Amazing! The movie feels like a very entertaining roller coaster, it was a joy and all the crowd were very pleased.

In the end, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 Is a MUST-SEE for fans of the first one and a VERY ENJOYABLE ride for everyone else. It's simply one of these movies that are always fun to watch.

Knowing nothing about this show, only heard about it from a couple of friends, I decided to give it a try, only to find it one of the most important shows ever made.

The first few episodes aren't hard to watch, It starts out simple; simple reasons and problems, you start thinking what could go wrong? the second half is very tense and I found it very hard to watch at times. But as tense as it gets, it becomes an essential watch for all teenagers for so many reasons:

1- How simple problems can evolve into terrible things.

2- It shows you how messed up the society we're living in is.

3- It begs us to treat each other in a better way.

4- We may think that others have better lives while actually we know nothing about their suffering.

5- We all can relate to at least one of the reasons from Hannah's tapes

and so many other reasons...

The acting is so good that we easily get attached to every character in the show, and after few episodes we become really concerned about what'll happen to them.

Won't spoil it, but as depressing as it is this show begs to be watched by everyone, maybe one day the society will get the point and we'll all change.

WARNING: The show has some scenes that are very hard to watch.
