I so much wish Alien Covenant had been great

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2017)

Would it not have been great to be able to write this about Alien Covenant?:
"Finally the Alien franchise got the masterpiece needed to make it exciting and alive again. Ridley Scott presents a chilling space horror movie, with surprisingly many new elements that we had not expected. If you thought you would see another movie, where the crew picks up a signal from an alien planet, going down there to get infected, and then having an alien creature on board the ship, with the heroine finally killing it, you were dead wrong. Except for a new approach to how the crew gets in the way of the xenomorph, this time the characters also act as expected from their training to travel in space. They have a strict quarantine protocol and they always use space suits outside of the ship, they don't touch anything they should't, and everything is done in a logical manner, at least until disaster strikes. The strong and well developed characters makes you really care about what happens to them and you will definitely again be scared of the Alien monster, in ways you did not expect. Most of the unanswered events from "Prometheus" were well weaved into this movie and made a lot of things more clear, although the xenomorph origins will probably always be a mystery, the perfect life form lurking out there, waiting for a new host. Easily the best movie since "Alien" and "Aliens."
But of course the reality is the total opposite - at least in my opinion, and it is really sad because I really wanted this movie to be great. It literally cannot get any worse now, so please Fox, let Neill Blomkamp make his Alien movie with Sigourney Weaver. I really can not believe it was set aside for this extreme disappointment of a movie.
