Haters gonna hate, ain'ters gonna ain't

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2017)

This movie... is amazing.
Reading the reviews here made me almost refund my ticket, but I'm so glad I didn't.
This movie opens up immediately with a theme of philosophy and exploration that truly sets the tone for the rest of the story. It follows the theme of Prometheus of what it really is like to be a creator, a created, or what it is like to meet your creator. It touches upon the opposite of creation - doom.
The story of Prometheus was the story of the "giants" failed attempt coming back to doom the Earth, but as we begin this movie the colonists of the Covenant are looking for a new planet to inhabit. Why? We don't really get to know, but most likely it is the old subject of over reaching resources.
The movie mixes these enormously deep subjects with the ultimate consequence of what happens when you go looking for something so abstract and intangible. The consequence of madness and damnation, both internal and external.
Other than that there are beautiful settings, wonderful musical score and a lot of action and gore. Covenant brings back the feeling of Alien, but also adds something completely unique and also brings on scope and insight into the franchise.
On top of that the acting is great and Fassbenders has outdone himself. He is truly spectacular.
Don't trust the negative views here on IMDb, see it for yourself! A lot of people don't like it, maybe you won't too, but I sure loved it! Enter with an open mind, not a critical mind.
