Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Louis V — 29 May 2017

I agree with most of the negative comments about 'Alien: Covenant'. It is a gigantic missed opportunity. My biggest issue apart from the utter predictability and nonsensical, inept script, was the disappointment of seeing 'Prometheus' mixed up with 'Alien'.

'Prometheus' brought new thinking to the genre and left us at the end with the sole human survivor and the android flying off towards the planet of our 'creators' to find out why they had decided to eradicate us.

This question does not get answered in 'A:C' because a badly advised director decided to completely forget the huge potential set up in 'Prometheus'. Terrible decision. Terrible script. Terrible waste of good production money.
