Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Eagleeyeviking — 18 May 2017

Alien: Covenant is neither as tense nor as terrifying as the first two Alien films, and even feels inferior to 'Life', a similar film released earlier this year. Furthermore, the plot structure, which follows 'Alien' and 'Prometheus' (go to alien planet, find alien ship, do something stupid to wake alien up, and alien v human gorefest) feels disappointing.

However, Michael Fassbender's magnetic dual performance, as well as effective sporadic scares, notches it some points.
