Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Josh S — 05 Jul 2017

While this semi-sequel to Ridley Scott's Prometheus has all the tropes of the previous Alien franchise it fails to capture the true frightening claustrophobia of the first film, charismatic characters of Aliens and the intimacy of Alien 3 all the while not delivering on the Science Fiction that it's immediate predecessor evoked.

While I won't say that the Alien films are done, if they keep missing the mark like this, the franchise won't be long for this world.
