Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Tony1984 — 22 May 2017
It’s not a 10, more an 8, but the 6.2 has to rectified in some little way. Covenant is superb and deserves to be recognised as such and is being unfairly slighted by reviewers.
Ridley Scott is one of the greatest directors of all time and the quality shows here. The CGI is magnificent, especially the space shots...Miles ahead of anything else. Its casting is outstanding, everyone fits perfectly, especially Fassbender who might get an award for this one. The Guy Pearce and James Franco cameos are a nice touch too.The crew are not soldiers, why would they be?, and no match for the Xenomorph. Brutal and visceral as you would expect but not gratuitously so...Sure the storyline has a few holes and the gravity issue is a bug bear but it’s still excellent.
There are 4 more of these in the pipeline, Awesome Ridley, just Awesome.
