Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Jojimbo — 12 Oct 2017

Absolute, utter pile of garbage. Scott proves beyond doubt his original success with Alien was a total fluke. promethius wasn't too bad, and I was kinda looking forward to be reunited with Elizabeth Shaw and see what her and David were getting up to in the home world of the big white people.

Nope, the story was terrible, not even Fassbender could save the plot and even colluded in the worst ending for a movie ever written. Scott has ruined the franchise if we let his "versions" become canon, which they are NOT.

We would be far better off none of this total bullcrap existed and the Aliens were just a random species on a random planet waiting in the dark for some poor wayfarer to discover. Trying to make something of the alien/creator/ out of anything is just so bad and cringeworthy. Bad writing at its worst.

Ridly, please don't make any more Alien films. This is Alien 3, all over again.
