A confused mess

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2017)

I must admit I quite enjoyed Prometheus. Taken as its own story it wasn't bad at all. They jammed in an Alien scene at the end that left me wondering where the series would go from there. The title 'Alien Covenant' infers that is part of the Alien series. God knows what was going through Ridley Scott's head but making it an android death match movie rather than an 'Alien' movie is almost a crime. This movie makes Alien 3 feel like a classic. The only characters with any presence or importance are the two androids and it was so obvious that a switcheroo had happened at the climax that I just sat there waiting for the revelation. The end of the movie had quite a terrifying moment for the last awake crew member being sent back into hypersleep. That one scene demonstrates just how poor the rest of the movie is.
