Incredibly Stupid...

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2017)

I'm a huge Alien fan, and I love the mystery, and lore of the Xneomorph specie, but this movie messes it all up, and the terrible cliffhanger ending.
Story: 4/10
A crew, and over 2000 colonists are going to a planet to colonize, but they found a rogue transmission on a near planet that is capable of life, so they went to investigate, and completely forget about their original plan, which is completely ridiculous, so once they found the source, which is from the ship from Prometheus, they then went back to their ship, but two crew members attracted a virus that releases a Protomorph, one Protomorph dies, but the other doesn't and kills most of their crew. Then they meet David from Prometheus who (SPOILER) turned evil, and he created the Xneomorph, and he also went on board the Covenant ship as David, and that's it, the ending is so bad, and cliffhanger. The story is very confusing if you didn't watch Prometheus, and I didn't watch it.
Characters: 3/10
David: David turned evil, and his goal is to create the perfect organism which is the Xneomorph, and he completes that goal in the most stupid way possible.
Walter: Walter is the android of the covenant, he doesn't do much, but fail at protecting his crew.
Daniels: Daniels is like a knock-off version of Ripley, and she's so boring, she doesn't do much, but kill the Xneomorph at the end.
Oram: Oram is the reason why they got in this situation, he is like Daniels, but he played a bigger part in the story.
Tennessee: Tennessee is one of the more better characters, he's likable, and he has a cool hat. I would like it more if he had more screen time.
Action: 8/10
The action is what's holding this movie up, it's bloody, and violent. The Sound affects, music, and visuals are amazing, by far this movie has the best visuals of the year, I just wish that I saw a battle between the Xneomorph, and the Protomorph, that would be the best part of the movie.
This movie has great visuals, sound affects, and music, but a terrible, and stupid story, and bland characters, and that's why I'm going to give this movie a 5/10.
