This has nothing to do with the Alien I know

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2017)

If you are a fan of Alien and work on a movie called Alien: Covenant, you should quit your job and be a shamed to have worked on this. I gave it 6 stars, because I enjoyed the movie and it has some OK acting in it, but while writing I kept deducting stars, because of how bad this movie is actually constructed. As many people before me already wrote. The whole movie is full of moments that are not logical. The way the characters act and react. The plot line itself. It is very predictable on every level. This movie has just been made to cash in on the legacy, but it actually spits in its face. It is truly a shame you can't take it back now anymore and start all over again. Shame Ridley! Bad Writing, bad acting, bad casting and very bad of you to actually think your audience is this stupid. I went without reading reviews, because I am a fan of the Alien movies for a long time and did not want to be influenced, but this movie is a smack in the face to a real fan. Sure, the original Alien-movies also have their flaws. But with this one, someone just had to stand up and say 'this is wrong, we need to rethink this'. Such a shame.
