Mediocre at best. I've seen better and see worse. Not a very memorable film and an incredibly obvious plot. The only thing it does is inform. Although I believe it's better than Prometheus: the only film that I have ever fallen asleep watching.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where should i begin? This movie absolutely makes no sense to me. Its plot is stupid, but visuals are very good. This movie tries to be a link between Alien and Prometheus, but it loses its track very soon. Actors are playing like amateurs and the story is garbage. Music and Visuals are great. Watch your 1st movie again,Mr. Scott, than give it another try.… Expand

Covenant's main issue is all its intense scenes and plot twists seem predictable. And we don't really learn much more about the threat as we wished. Still, there are some interesting things throughout the movie that keep it entertaining.

I have a confession, the Alien sequels (I'm talking about the ones that came out after Aliens here) are one of my worst guilty pleasures.

I know that for the most part they're not good movies, but I just enjoy watching them so much, and this movie was no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed watching David cause more chaos with his lab made creatures, and seeing how he eventually wound up with the alien we all know, then unfortunately seeing the most poorly hidden plot twist ever, of all time. And that's how this felt to me, a whole lot of give and take, we are given a slightly deeper look into the Alien mythos but we are left with even more questions. Speaking of give and take, the acting was very hit and miss, Michael Fassbender was excellent as David/Walter and owned every scene he was in, and Danny McBride did a surprisingly great job handling a serious role on the other hand though Katherine Waterson felt like a wooden copy of Elinore Riply. While not a bad film I do feel that we deserve better from the franchise, I'll rate it slightly higher than average for sake of the fact that I really was entertained however a poor script and too many loose ends really brought the experience down.… Expand

Intruder: Covenant not only does not reach the previous parts, but also lags far behind. Atmosphere. She is almost gone and unfortunately that is the biggest problem here. Without a proper atmosphere, Alien is not the real Alien as it should be, which is why this film loses so much. It's just that the Alien is here to be seen during the day. The right emzák must not be very visible. He should be hidden in the dark and lurk for you and jump out unexpectedly. That's exactly what made the previous films so great, and most importantly, we miss Ripley, without whom it just isn't it. In addition to all this, there is one predictable thing that I will not spoiler. In short, this is not exactly a bad film, but it is NOT THE Alien we loved so much.… Expand

It looked and soundedThis is probably my fourth favourite Alien movie after the original trilogy. The tone matches Alien (1979) closer than Prometheus (2012) but there is too much existential dribble and some really pretentious moments. It looked and sounded stunning, possibly the best sound design and music I’ve even heard. My biggest complaint was that the alien often looked goofy, especially in the first half of the film. Also, what happened to having men in suits? Look so much scarier, the CGI aliens are not convincing. The scary intense moments are cool and I like that they tried to explain the space jockey and the alien origins but it’s not as entertaining as it should have been. I could be wrong but at the end of Prometheus we saw a ‘fully’ evolved Alien human hybrid but in this film (set ten years later) they say that this is it’s first appearance (I don’t want to explain this failure in logic fully as it would contain spoliers). Final gripe, what happened to Alien films reaching a satisfying conclusion rather than leaving it open to endless sequels? Very enjoyable film let down by too much CGI and some moments that could have been shorter.… Expand

A very unsatisfying movie with an exciting beginning that quickly becomes uninteresting and a predictable, corny, and depressing climax.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **THE GOOD: Directing. Sound. Set design. The action. Most CGI (excluding some xenomorphs). Michael Fassbender's raw charisma. Its a new story, not an uninspired carbon copy of the original. **THE BAD: the human colonists are so unprofessional, incompetent and generic that you want them to die. This is the writers fault, many actors are familiar and have proven they know their craft.

**SPOILERS: this is the story of a rogue AI (Fassbender's David), wo outgrew his human maker and uses a weapon of mass destruction - a pathogen made by an alien race called "Engineers" - to create new life on their home world. While attempting to craft the "perfect organism" David runs out of non-botanical life, until he lurs a human colony ship to the Engineers' planet. -- THIS IS A GREAT PREMISE. -- Sadly, the muddled presentation of this idea and the stupid colonists rob this film of the impact it could have beyond the unarguably stunning directing and visuals.… Expand
