Lacks substance, adds nothing new to the franchise.

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2017)

Droll, inept, vague, meaningless, and without merit.
Alien: Covenant was a meaningless film filled with little more than inept people and more unoriginal aliens. Despite hope that it would be the next step in the franchise, bringing the viewers closer to the answers to the mysteries presented in Prometheus, the film fell flat, offering nothing new or different to the franchise.
The film was exceptionally uninteresting, with few explanations given for what occurred, bland, one-dimensional characters, and a pointless plot line. Instead of using the themes in Prometheus, Covenant went off on a minimally related tangent that seemed more like filler, or a side-story, than a legitimate installment. After five years, this is what they come up with?
It seemed like a second-rate, scary flick that was low-budget. In fact, I have seen low-budget indie sci-fi films that were of better quality and truly had substance, as opposed to this empty, meaningless film. What was the point of this film? I can't figure it out.
Don't waste your money. Entropy has taken it's toll on the franchise.
