Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2017)

*My completely spoiler free review*
First thing's first! If you expect to see an Alien movie with buck load of shots being fired, good ol' flame thrower, lots of acid spills (you know what i mean!), scores of brutal skirmishes between soldiers & ... you know what! Then Covenant may not suit your taste as much.
Alien: Covenant is about STORY, CHARACTERS, ENVIRONMENT, AMBIANCE and man o man! DIALOGUES! Some of the BEST written lines in delivered in some of the best ways possible by Michael Fassbender! Watch the movie, listen to every line he says, CLOSELY & you will know what i mean.
Acting, the ship's captain has done a good job. He accepts that he may be incompetent for the job and acts precisely like that! The main lead Katherine Waterson, madam, you deserve a STANDING salute! Her expressions THROUGH OUT THE MOVIE are SO real (the ending scene IN SPECIFIC!) The crew, is just the crew & is OK!
Sound effects, CGI (graphics), skirmishes, action and the FLOW of the movie, as can be expected from sir Ridley Scott is TOP NOTCH!
It is the most mature, distinct movie in the Alien series till date. There is going to be a group of people who may not like it. for reasons mentioned above, it is DIFFERENT! with an ending which may give some of you, nightmares! The movie has a fantastic (if harrowing!) ending.
My opinion, is the series going in the right direction? My reply is a big YES! Sir Scott, i SALUTE you sir! a job WELL WELL WELL DONE!
