Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Andrew Crump for Paste Magazine — 31 May 2017

The second third sandwiched in between these bookends is equally interminable and dumb, a garbage-level studio-prompted exercise in origin narrative, built to demystify intellectual property where mystification is a key factor in its success.
