Alien: Covenant Doesnt Know What It Wants To Be @JacksMovieReviews
Jacks Movie Reviews
This week's video essay is a look into what I believe to be the biggest flaw with Alien: Covenant-the lack of focus. This film analysis focuses on the horror, action, and thematic ideas found within the film, and how these clash with themselves, and how they stand compared to other horror movies. twitter.com/JackMoviereview Special thanks to Christian for Voice Over post processing, check out his channel here:youtube.com/channel/UCZOBWhdbR8Z-pOVBsm64t1w
