Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by David S — 13 Jun 2017

Meh. Prometheus wasn`t a great movie, but it at least offered the possibility of an off ramp to an endless cycle of astronauts running across dangerous aliens that try to murder everyone. Unfortunately, Covenant returns directly back to that same tired story, throwing away the chance to ask interesting questions about why an advanced alien race would make such dangerous weapon creatures, and instead adding some "the robots are going to turn against us" trope.

What you end up with is a movie whose entire second half is utterly predictable. Bleh.
