Prometheus>Covenant>Nostromo>Sulaco and David is sick...

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2017)

To be honest I actually wait when Ridley Scott stops making films about Aliens and makes a grand Sci Fi where the characters discover a Dyson Sphere or a Rama ship...
That soundtrack that they used in both Prometheus and A.C. implies "WE WANT TO EXPLORE, WE DON'T WANT MORE OF THE GORE"...
Prometheus was more about exploration to a certain point, but with Covenant they ran out of Steam completely... The trailer implied that in a film you would see what happened to Elizabeth, why the Engineers created that virus, but what we get is no explanation whatsoever, to be honest the story route "David is a sick bastard" reminds me when in "Matrix" Wachowski suddenly decided to make agent Smith the root of all evil...
Overall the film was enjoyable to watch once, but not a single moment left me surprised although the space scenes were visually great... The main character of this film is not Daniels it's David... The moment when first chestburster appears is literally Ridley's "Look, look!! - I created it and not anybody else!!!"
The metaphor of the final scene when David saves a couple of alien embryos is not for the sake of a sequel, but it's for the sake of saying:
" - Come on , you know who is the main character there, nobody cares about another female survivor or a deep space exploration mission, you all came there for the gore... " And that is why exactly we will be seeing this over and over again and again and Ridley won't bother writing a grand Sci-Fi about Dyson Spheres ...
