It's not like the first two Alien movies, but , c'mon guys give this movie a break...

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2020)

I usually agree with most of the reviews and rating in imdb, but you gave this movie tooo much trashing and ranting.Reviews like "i will never go to the cinema after i saw this" or "my life is a mess after this one" are just too much. It's not like it's the end of the world, people.
Yes, the "Alien:Covenant" has it's flaws, it has plot holes, the characters act stupid, but for me it perfectly captures the feeling of the first Alien movies, because it's dark, and it's horror oriented.There will never be a film like Alien from 1979 - it's one of the best films in the whole industry for me, and the absolute best sci-fi horror movie EVER. Aliens from 1986 is one of the best sci-fi action movies EVER. You can't even come close to that. But for what it is Covenant is a pretty nice addition to the Alien franchise for me.
I'm with the majority in saying that we didn't need explanation to the question - how was the xenomorph made, where did it came from. That monster was scary because it WAS full of mystery, it was unknown and terrifying, because we didn't know what the hell was that. The whole mystery and awesomeness of the creature gets smaller when we actually know that an android created it (although i don't understand how in the world did David MADE the eggs from which the facehugger emerges. I thought a queen hatched it..) If there will be more sequels to this one maybe some more questions will be answered, but if that's it - then oh well ..
Why i'm giving it a 7 stars.For the atmosphere, the visuals(amazing), the 1 or 2 scenes of suspense( especially the alien through the back scene), the gore and blood, which was great, not another PG-13 crap like AVP. The brutality of the film was awesome, and to the great acting of Michael Fassbender as David/Walter which was amazing. 7 is a mediocre rating, for a mediocre film. But this film DOESN'T deserve at all the 1/10 rating you guys are giving it. It's not a 9/10 or 10/10 either. Just a mediocre film, but that's what I expected, i don't know how you expected a masterpiece out of this - it's the 6th part for crying out loud.
