Alien: Covenant (3½ Stars)



Today I carried out a little experiment. I watched this film without the sound and relied on the subtitles for "the deaf and hard of hearing". After the first half hour I grew used to it, but there were still things that I missed by pretending to be deaf. There's a scene where the android Walter is learning how to play a flute. There was no way for me to experience his rapid improvement from random sounds to skilled playing.

I'm glad I'm not deaf. If I ever became unable to hear, it would spoil my enjoyment of films.
