Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Dave H — 02 Jun 2017
The film suffers from poor storytelling and a feeling of "this is just a bunch of stuff happening". as an Alien prequel/reboot it fails. as a prometheus sequel it disappoints.
The fact that we got this instead of Blommkamp's Aliens sequel makes the film even worse.
If we only judge films on visuals then its a home run. the gore is incredible and it looks and feels like an alien movie should. Ridley Scott still makes pretty looking films at least. Fassbender is good here its just too bad they didnt give him aome better stuff to work with here.
As a lifelong Alien fan I had high hopes and was severely let down.
