Review of Alien: Covenant (2017) by Jin T — 24 Sep 2017
Sequels sometimes tend to not live up to its predecessor. This is one of them. While the story was good, there weren't much character development with the new ones. However, if you're wondering what happened to Shaw from the previous movie then don't worry.
You'll clearly get the picture many times. I do like Michael Fassbender's performance. He does a really awesome acting on not one but two characters. You'll see why when you ever decide to watch this movie.
Yes, Ridley Scott directed this but it doesn't mean it's gonna be an epic movie because of him. There more context on what happened instead of what's happening now. Perhaps squeezing more origins of what happened before the movie's story begins should suffice but it should have been THE second story.
Other than that, it's an okay movie. Not the best, in my opinion. I actually liked Prometheus better. Let's hope the next Alien movie is more Alien-ish and it doesn't have to suffer from production control but rather let the guy do his thing, so we can have a good Alien movie in this era.
Other than that, it was interesting to the last. We got the usual Alien attack humans scenes. Brutal ones, to say the least and I very much enjoyed them. Wish the movie was more thorough in its own, instead of multiple occasions into one.
Still, it's worth watching if you're a fan of the Alien franchise.
