Ignore the bad reviews. This is, at it's heart, a true Alien movie. It seamlessly continues the plot of Prometheus while eliminating all the bad stuff about it. It finally answers the questions we were left with, and tells a wonderful story. Any Alien fan should definitely go see it!

I didn't read the reviews before watching the movie but I did not have high expectation. Still, I was disappointed. Scott said he wants to turn this into a franchise and leave the story open, which means it's possible they will not close down the story and end up to where Alien started. And what that means is that they just want to take people to the cinema to make money and deliver mediocre films.Back to this film, where should I start? It has nothing original, nothing thrilling, nothing spectacular to remember. Instead, it reiterates all the SF cliches (the following is a SPOILER list): big colony ship heading to a distant planetthe crew and other colonists are in a cryogenic sleepan unexpected event wakes them upsome of them die in the eventthey find a planet that looks good and everybody is confidentthey get killed because they are recklesscommunication between teams is brokenpeople are forcibly quarantine along with infested colleagues and diehumans cannot kill the parasite; only the parasite can kill peoplethe bad guy outsmarts everybodyeverybody dies except or a handful that are saved the last momentand so on and so forthThis movie did not answer any questions (how could it be since Scott wants to make at least two more movies) but instead only raised more. It looked like it had almost nothing to do with Prometheus, except for David. It's just a side story in the big picture. We're gonna have more Davids/Walters and more ships in the future. For as long as it still makes some money. For God's sake, HTF did David breed the aliens? Seriously? Oh, and let me guess, there will be some engineers that escaped because they were away (of course, on their planet everybody lives in a single small place, not spread across the entire planet surface). And they will show up in the next film to take some revenge.

Where to start?? there is just so much wrong with this filmok, at the beginning - it just makes no sense, from the opening scene, a highly complex autonomous space craft identifies an oncoming catastrophe thats going to hit in a matter of seconds, but needs an android to hit a button to avoid it, who happens to be too far away from a console, seems we don't have wifi or bluetooth in the future then.And that was the smallest plot hole!!All these scientists then, for no reason, decide they aren't going to go to the planet that has been picked for them, surveyed etc etc but instead go to this totally unknown planet, do no checking before hand, no drones sent, no survey nothing, and land on it, all of them, at the same time, then just for kicks have no safety equipment at all - seems mankind gets even dumber in the futurenow just for kicks lets kill some people off, can't think of a decent way to do it?? well lets use the same way twice!! bingo, top idea, slipping on blood, those damn future shoes aren't too grippy.Well would you look at that, even though we didn't survey this world, WORLD, we seem to have managed to land within walking distance of the only 'living' thing on it, what are the odds??I wanted the aliens to kill everyone after about 20 minutes so I could leave.whoever wrote this rubbish should seriously look for a new career, walk around, talk to people, see that this just isn't what anyone would do, the characters acted like they where toddlers, not making bad decisions but totally unrealistic ones no one would ever make regardless of the situation.Hey fella, stick your head in this alien egg thing for me would ya, there's a good fellowThe rest of the film is a mash up of all the 'best' parts of the previous alien films, nothing new here at all.You know how frustrating all those horror films where back in the 60's / 70's where the woman (it was always a woman) would start running away, while looking over their shoulder, screaming, and inevitably trip, then not be able to get back up, just continue screaming, finally raise her arms as the monster get her? well alien covenant makes that look like the end of gone with the wind.There are far more plot holes, I just can't be bothered to list them, I've probably missed a load too in the confusion.The ending is laughably bad, the 'twist' you can guess as soon as they meet the bad android.and the less said about the main characters wig the better, why, just why?????don't waste your money on this, even if its on free tv, just don't

Shame! Shame! Shame! on 80-year-old director, Ridley Scott for foisting this $97 million SyFy turd on us (his audience).You know, this film has completely convinced me that Scott is nothing but a senile, old boob.I had thought that Scott had scraped the absolute bottom of the barrel with Prometheus - But, no - Alien: Covenant actually manages to sink even lower into the manure than that.The only surprises that this prized piece of junk had to offer to the viewer was to prove, over and over again, how really-really bad it was.I can only hope that this utter garbage is the very last of the Alien sequels - But, I'm certain that there's still some more poop coming our way in the next few years.And, finally - Speaking about actor (ha!), Michael Fassbender - Next to the likes of that airhead, Tom Cruise - I think he's the most despicable, no-talent, little creep of all.
