Unbelievably stupid people

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2017)

Like others I question what has happened to Ridley Scott? I think there is one clue. He currently has 17 movies and 5 TV series either being released or in pre-production in 2017. There is no way someone can pay enough attention to all those projects to do justice to any of them. I am starting to dread "Blade Runner 2049".
As for "Alien: Covenant" the only good thing is the storyline around David/Walter, not just in the performance by Fassbender but in the writing itself. Every other character was a carbon copy of a 'type' frequently seen in disaster/horror films. The primary difference was the dumbing down of these characters to grade school level. Within the plot of the the movie someone spent a lot of money to build a spaceship and send it on its way to a distant planet. You would think they would train and send along crew members capable of actually making smart decisions to get the ship to its destination.
I'll give it 3/10 for David/Walter and for the production design.
