Okay.. But been there.. Seen it.

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2017)

Ridley Scott begins Covenant in a likable manner. There are couple of characters that you empathize with and there is nice tension that builds up. It almost seemed as if though there is fresh air to this new installment. But very soon I was proved wrong as the film stepped into the fortress of clichés. Well.. I guess that's what happens when you try to give so many versions of the same plot. There is only so much you could do. Just like the scientists who find no life except the prey hunter all the time, there is no new life in writing too! Everything just gets boringly predictable during the latter half. And you don't even need the experience of watching a lot of movies to guess what is coming up. The characters that you emoted for initially remains only partially explored and leave a lot to be desired. There are some downright silly moments too. Like the captain of the ship happily puts his head inside an embryo to check what that dude is up to. Why? Because the clearly suspicious android told him so and our guy obliges.Great..
On the whole, this might not be a total trash and the sorry thing is it isn't any notch above that.
