How to destroy a franchise

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2017)

Alien was wonderful and was followed up by a even better movie imho. They slipped on #3 and why they decided to go the way they did in #4 is... questionable. Lots of good things in the last one but, well, its a matter of taste.
Then we had AvP which was weird in its way, but hey, it was a decent crossover movie. AvP 2 was utter crap! And then we got Prometheus. What a disaster! So stupid, so unintelligent, shooting the Alien franchise in the right foot, then in the left foot and in the left arm...
And now we got this... thing... of a movie. Not Prometheus 2 or Alien 5 but Alien: Covenant. Really? Covenant? Did the writers hit their heads so hard in the wall that they went with that? Maybe it was their silent scream for help! Everything in the movie is so... unbelievable stupid. How the crew acts, how they react, the "so called" reasoning they are supposed to do is just laughable. It assumes the audience is a bunch of morons, consumers with a vegetable mind.
The cinematics were great, the effects top notch. But the story just sinks the Alien franchise once and for all. Its brainless. It holds no thrill, no passion, no breakthroughs, no spunk, no spirit -I could go on- no nothing... it just ends with a big "meh".
So sad that they did this movie the way they did.
