A bad example of a Horror/Sci-Fi Movie

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2017)

After being woken by an unexpected event from their sleep, the crew of colonization ship Covenant decide to follow a vague signal which might lead them to new, better home. They find a planet which seems to look a lot like earth, appearing to be very hospitable, almost too good to be true. Unprepared for what they're about to find, they advance into the wilderness. From there, a terrible fight for survival will commence, testing each of the remaining crew members to their limits, in their attempt to flee the dangerous planet.
Although it seemed to have a very good premise and plot, this movie proves very quick that it hasn't learned anything from the mistakes of its predecessor, Prometheus, insisting to follow its exact footsteps, sometimes even managing to be worse. This movie is exactly as the majority of horror movies out there, determined to insult the viewer's intelligence with almost every action it depicts. You cannot send a team of people who are supposed to colonize an unknown planet without any protection, without basic intelligence or even common sense. They don't wear any helmets, they seem to think that they're on earth and even think that is a very good idea to wash their faces in the first pond they can find. Ironically, from that pond, they take water samples to check in the laboratory if it was contaminated in any way.
The level of stupidity of the characters is simply insulting and unacceptable. If they had taken random people from the streets, the odds are surely higher to find more capable and less idiotic people. Besides this enormous downside, the plot is mediocre to say the least, bringing nothing out of the ordinary, which is simply not enough to make it interesting. The only upside is the CGI, which is very good in the movie's context, managing to raise, but only a bit, the film from the misery that covers it.
Given the overall impression this movie left, I can say that it is a bad movie which is not worth your time and especially your money.
