Alien: Covenant Review

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2017)

Here we are with the second installment in Ridley Scott's new Alien Trilogy. Alien: Covenant was just as good as Prometheus and then some. Find out what made it better.
Synopsis: The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape. Starring: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterson, Danny McBride Director: Ridley Scott
I have said it before and I will say it till the day that one better comes out (which probably won't happen), Ridley Scott is the only man who should make Alien movies. Yeah, that's right, I think Alien is better than Aliens. And it is. But that's not why I like this one better than Ridley's last one.
The reason I like this one better is because of Danny McBride. A few months ago I posted on my Facebook that I figured he was going to be the lone survivor. Well, I was wrong. But he was the best part of the movie. It wasn't a comedic role for him; he was all seriousness. It was completely different than any role he has played so far, and it worked here. Can't wait to see what he does with Halloween.
I'm not saying he was the only good thing about the movie. Bringing back the original Xenomorph in the way it was worked great. Then there was the second prototype Xenomorph, it was a bit different than the one from Prometheus, and it was better. The way the story was set up did take a bit to get to into, but the wait was worth it.
There were some downfalls though. The twist towards the end of the movie was not well hidden. You could see it coming when it happened. With that adding onto how long it took to get to the main problem, those are two of the minor reasons I gave it a lower rating.
The main reason you ask. There was something that has never happened in an Alien movie, even though they hinted at it in most of the movies. But, there never showed nudity. No, I am not including the Predator movies in this scenario. Some things should never happen.
Final Thoughts: Watch this movie. Even if you're not a fan of the Alien movies, watch this movie. Even if you disagree with me on which one is better out of the original two, watch this movie. It is the third best in the series, by the way.
