Even the Best Fall Down Some Times, even the wrong scripts seem to rhyme

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2017)

In 2014, director Ridley Scott stated that the follow up to Prometheus will be the exploration of PARADISE, home of the ENGINEERS. A lot of People hated Prometheus including a lot of so called Alien fans. As a huge fan of the Alien franchise myself, including AVP, i still consider Prometheus a great movie. I was one of the few fans who thoroughly enjoy it. Believe me i got a lot of hate from fanatic NERDS for enjoying Prometheus. Normal people gave me nothing.
CUT TO: Five years later. Alien: Covenant arrives. Verdict? Dead on Arrival. This is not the movie i waited five years to see. The story set up at the end of Prometheus is what i wanted and didn't get. WTF happened? Well to all you so called Alien fans who wanted an Alien prequel, you got your wish. I hope you're all happy. Oh wait! You didn't show up Opening weekend to show your enthusiasm because it sucked and now you're all on here complaining again. Ridley & Fox tried to please these fans and as it turns out, when you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one. Ridley, You should've stayed true to the story of SHAW & DAVID'S journey to PARADISE to find out why the Engineers changed their mind. Period!
ALIEN COVENANT is a REMAKE of ALIEN created on the loose story line from Prometheus with just minor differences. Let me break it down: Alien storyline: Crew on Large cargo ship receives unknown signal. Crew checks it out despite danger and protest from other crew members. Expedition goes to crap and people die. Alien ends up on mothership.
Covenant storyline: Same as above, except crew are scientists instead of merchants. Signal is from Engineer ship just like Alien.
Differences:
Alien was a horror film in space. The characters were great, relatable, compelling, and different from one another. So you care about them when they're in jeopardy. It was a low budget movie shot on film with no computer effects.
Covenant is a movie that wants to be a horror film and an action film in space but gets confused. Therefore, the characters are dull, boring, not relatable, and forgettable. So you don't care about them at all and end up rooting for the alien to kill them all so the movie can end. This was an expensive 100 million dollar film shot on UHD Video with excessive computer effects. It also has the cheesiest twist ending that will motivate M Night Shyamalan to make some MAC & CHEESE with extra cheese.
Summary: Even the Best fall down sometimes and refuse to shine. If Shyamalan can bonce back so can Ridley Scott.
