Stop Taking Us For Idiots

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2017)

Ridley Scott probably just phoned in this movie. Someone else was sitting in the director's chair, as a result we got Alien: Idiot Edition. This movie is so stupid that it looks like the sequel to epically moronic Passengers, not to Prometheus. It started with zero character development, proceeded to a bunch of idiots not wearing protective suits when deploying to an alien planet they discovered a minute ago, and ended with standard alien corridor slasher shot with zero suspense or momentum building. Also it now takes maximum 5 minutes for a human to get infected and "give birth" to an alien creature. Prometheus wasn't a perfect movie, but I liked it. With Covenant I was just counting how many imbecile things can fit into the span of 2 hours. A lot, as it turned out.
