Filming locations in Alien: Covenant include Australia and New Zealand.
Overall Alien: Covenant is a good sci-fi horror film filled with action, gory violence, sci-fi stuff, horror stuff, spaceships, air crafts, alien creatures, stunning scenery like mountains and hills, silence, darkness, dark caves, team work, togetherness, hard hitting scenes, flashing lights, scary scenes, on the edge of your seat stuff, bizarre scenes, good performances from Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston and many other things throughout the film.
So I will give Alien: Covenant an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars and Alien: Covenant is worth seeing if you like the Alien films, the Alien VS Predator films, Prometheus, Life, Men In Black films amongst others.
So if you get the chance to see Alien: Covenant in the cinema then you should go and see it sooner than later and in my opinion Alien: Covenant is better than Prometheus, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection but not as good as the two Alien films Alien from 1979 and Aliens from 1986. But if you are a fan of the Alien films franchise then you should go and see Alien: Covenant in the cinema.
