Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2017)

I regret Ripley Scott didn't stick to his original idea and continue the plot line of Prometheus more closely. I would have preferred a story about the engineers, how they created humans and xenomorphs. I wanted to see Dr. Shaw and David meet them and find out more about the back story of their work. Scott's original idea was a good one and it is sad, that he caved in to demands from fans, who wanted to see more bloody carnage. Those people should just watch the earlier Alien movies. There are a lot of things in Covenant which can be criticized but the list is long and they have been covered in other reviews. Personally I find it ridiculous that Show would repair David after what he did. (I'm not sure this information warrants a spoiler warning as this information is also available in a video on Youtube but I just wanted to err on the side of caution.) Ripley had more sense in Alien with Ash.
