Definitely Alien 1 was just a stroke of luck

Rating: 4/10 (13 May 2017)

There's an old Spanish proverb which says: "Man is the only animal known to be able to trip twice on the same rock"...and yes, Ridley Scott is a man.
Every single mistake made in Prometheus is in Covenant in full glory (in addition to lots of new ones).
On the one side, the aesthetics are much closer to the first two Alien movies, and the music is basically the Jerry Goldsmith one expanded which is a nice movement for true fans....but...........but...
1. Slow 2. Poor story development 3. KILLS THE ENTIRE ENGINEERS RACE, so zero explanation about why the virus/plague was created, why humans were created o why in Promtheus the surviving engineer seemed to hate humans. 4. No explanation about how David's alien eggs ended inside an engineer spaceship in planetoid LV-426 nor why there was a fossilized engineer in the same ship. 5. Too much white xenomorphs... 6. Bad cgi xenomorphs animations. 7. Did I mention they KILLED THE ENTIRE ENGINEERS RACE for no real reason. 8. No real explanation about what happened to Elizabeth Shaw. 9. Plot holes everywhere 10. No space for psychological terror..we are always presented the xenomorphs in clear view.. 11. Again the probably most interesting character of the two latest movies, Peter Wayland is reduced to just a 2 minutes scene...
All I can think about is either Ridley or the screenwriters can't remember or doesn't know what made Alien 1/2 so great (even being so radically different movies)...or simply they don't care.
