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.

Kinda off if you put it in context — i mean, It’s 2017, couldn’t you do better? Special effects were lacking and story wise wasn’t much even though it it a direct continuation of Prometheus. Some scenes were clearly overkill. Michael Fassbender is severely off-putting.

8/10
Really good movie in my opinion. David’s character steals the show in any scene he’s in. It was nice to see more history into the creation of the Aliens. Definitely the goriest of the movies so far but I’ll take better graphics over a dude in an alien costume any day.
