Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Jose P — 30 May 2017
I had a few reservations going in to Alien: Covenant. In my opinion there hasn't been a truly great entry to the franchise since Aliens, so I was worried that the statistics were against it. I thought Prometheus was incredible from a technical standpoint, but not a very engaging movie, and I was worried we might get the same here. The trailers had been mostly good but I was worried I had seen too much of the third act in them, and I was worried this would spoil the experience for me a little.
What I was not worried about was within ten minutes of the damn thing starting I would think to myself: "Wow, this movie is really poorly made.".
Well I guess I'm an idiot because that is exactly what happened. And that feeling never entirely abated over the course of the whole thing.
Don't get me wrong, it's no "AVP: Requiem", but I was still very disappointed.
