Alien: Covenant

Visually, the Alien franchise has improved tremendously. Contextually (if that's the right word), it misses more than it hits. 'Prometheus' gave us pace with a worthwhile story and some smart plot twists. 'Covenant', on the other hand, gives us a washed-out story with some insanly predictable plot points. It felt extremely fast-paced with action but draggingly slow paced with context or connection. The cgi, casting, and score were mediocre at best. Wasted story, wasted characters, and wasted visuals, but I'm not that bothered as I didn't feel connected anyway.

“you do the fingering. i’ll do the blowing.” exCUSE meeeeee, Michael Assbender???

anyway. such a letdown after the perfection that was Prometheus. 3/10

I mean the ending was kinda obvious but still a good movie.

The story from this saga always delivers ngl. I have issues either way the pacing though its like out of place with the alien introductions and killing characters, Michael Fassbender is really good in these and thank god the quality got better. P.S. Great monster evolutions

Wayland = Umbrella Corps

A direct sequel to Prometheus. It’s better in retrospect through the lens of Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands than it is as an “Alien” movie. Covenant is fantastic universe-expanding sci-fi. Just don’t expect gothic horror.
