Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 20 May 2017
This is a franchise sorely in need of something radically fresh to keep it alive or a cancellation notice to put it (and viewers) out of misery. With the exception of a few spiritual vs. scientific plot devices, there's essentially nothing new here that we haven't already seen many (and I do mean many) times before.
Any attempts at enlivening the narrative are derivative at best, shedding no particularly new light on why any of this matters (or why viewers should care). Go back and watch the first two movies in the series -- they're much better.
