Creator destroying own creation? Yea, that's Ridley Scott.

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2017)

I don't consider Ridley Scott to be one of the greats. He just has a lot of hit and miss. And he has more miss that hits. And this was another gigantic miss. And then the ones he hit, he goes back and destroys them. Just like all the directors cut or final cut or whatever cut version he released for Blade Runner that ruined the movie. And he's doing same thing to the Alien.
Before watching Prometheus, to prep myself, I watched the entire series again. And then I realized that it was James Cameron who should be credited with the series success. Not Scott.
In Covenant, perhaps Scott was trying to impress the audiences with visuals, not realizing that may have worked in 1980's but not anymore. Thanks to orgy of special effects thesedays, people don't get impressed by visuals.
And the twist he was going for at the end, I saw it coming as soon as the fight scene didn't show the winner. It was so painfully obvious.
Wish it was Cameron.
