Fun to Watch..disappointing Prometheus sequel

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2017)

I was very excited to hear that Alien Covenant would continue the "Prometheus" project. And so it did; sort of. As the story developed it became clear that it would not have the the same impact and ended up being a continuation of the first two Alien installments. Ultimately the story is essentially a weaker redo of "Aliens" leaving "The Prometheus" story as a secondary plot line in favor of Alien destruction. The characters were typically undeveloped, the effects were spectacular and the gore was prominent if not overbearing. If you are an "Alien" fan you will enjoy this immensely. If you are looking for a deeper continuation of Prometheus, disappointment will follow.
