Don't underestimate the audience

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2017)

Some medium spoilers ahead!
I am huge fan of the series but this is getting worse and worse. And it's a shame because of a huge potential. They should just remake the whole Covenant movie but without the stupidest cosmic crew ever assembled for a space mission. I just can't stand all those completely illogical moves! The group of randomly chosen citizens would act with more sense than the highly trained spaceship crew in this movie.
It's a complete mess, not in a good way. If I compare this movie to the Aliens, my favorite in the saga, the Covenant is like some child got the enormous budget and super-talented production crew to make a naive movie for audience of an elementary school level. Ridley just should hire one serious QA person to check the script and point out what's plain stupid and completely unlikely.
Actors could be great - if given a chance. I guess they must be frustrated. This way all of them except two androids are just fast cannon fodder, plain, shallow and forgettable. What a waste!
Still, I recommend to see the movie if you love the series. Visually, the movie is fantastic. See it in 4D cinema because the special effects are ten out of ten.
I was so eager to see it as I expected that they'll correct and make up for all bad things that has ruined the Prometheus, but no avail. What a disappointment!
