Not one satisfying answer that we wanted.

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2017)

SPOILER ALERT ! (in some way) As much as I wanted to really really like this, I just could not do it. Alien "Covenant" really gives us no answers that we highly anticipated. No further backstory or to the engineers or resolution as to why they made us and what happened at LV- 223, the Deacon was no where to be seen, pretty much nothing new about the black goo, a really dishonorable death for the Shaw character as well. It took to long get in high gear and then when it did, it felt rushed. The use of the Xenomorph it this movie has really damaged the character of the creature, just so rushed and not at all scary or intimidating. It felt more like a big insect instead of a ferocious monster. The Neomorph was treated in my opinion as a greater threat. In general the main problem was that this felt more like a spin-off rather than a sequel for Prometheus. A disappointing movie that could and should have been way better. They could have done so much with it and answered a lot of the plot holes from the first movie. It failed to live up to its hype and didn't even come remotely close to the original "Alien" or "Aliens".
And I've got to add that James Franco had like 0 screen time, like literally he had more screen time in the prologue clips than in the movie itself.
