Wow, what's with all the terrible reviews on this movie? I thought it was pretty good. Sure it doesn't have such an iconic bad ass protagonist as Ripley, but overall it was a thoroughly entertaining watching experience. And saying that, actually the protagonist in Covenant isn't at all bad, her acting is impressive, and she gets stuck into incredible action scenes. I have to disagree with what some of the other reviewers have said, that it 'lacks suspense' or that 'the CGI is really bad', it looked good to me, and the movie was full of plot twists and tense moments, as well as interesting dialogue such as questioning an AI's ability to love, their purpose in life, and how they were made without the ability to create so as to lack idiosyncrasy, to name a few.
I found the sets/CGI to be very impressive, and the aliens failed to disappoint and were both creepy and scary. Sure it's not quite like the originals, but what more to you f****ing want? It was much better than Prometheus, which was a bit underwhelming running at a very slow pace. On the contrary a lot happens in this movie, I only wish it was longer and that they could delve a bit deeper into some of the characters and have a few more memorable scenes of dialogue, but that would be nitpicking because actually the movie was very enjoyable.
