Complete disaster

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2017)

There is no nice way to put it, so I'll just say it loud: Riddley is ripe for euthanasia. A man who once defined genres and made legendary franchises that educated entire generations is now killing his masterpieces one by one. Just if Prometheus" wasn't enough, he gave birth to another retarded script that surpassed even its mediocre predecessor. There isn't one good thing about Covenant". Not a single one. Not even one good action sequences, or just a decent CGI. No. Everything is just so missing the point, that you'll laugh instead of being scared, or just end up being utterly frustrated. Script s practically non-existent, with plot" being so lame and tragicomical that entire flick becomes a self-parody right from the opening I am your father" scene. If the script was made for the people with special demands, what can be said about the acting. Even the otherwise reliable Fassbender is just drowning in sea of pretentiousness. His scenes in a double role are meant to be the best ones in the movie, but they end being the worst ones. Neutron storm, scene with the pipes, taming the aliens with breathing in their non-existent mouths, Fassbenders kissing, vomiting facehugger's embryos... Just plain awful. All of this wouldn't bother me if Scott just came out in the open and went honest that he made a high end budget trash. No, no, he was serious, dead serious and that can't be forgiven or forgotten. Covenant" isn't just a worse Alien" movie. It's the worse American blockbuster in this decade and maybe even in this century.
