All in all ..a Nice way to pass the 2h 2m film , when you are a space buff.

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2017)

The initial part of the film comes along with what we have been seeing right from the 70's /80s ...eggs, Hatching, suction to faces, body bursting out aliens and androids. The later part is more exciting plus interesting and the with the final scene begging for more sequels and 'what will happen next'. Regarding the rogue transmission ,the audience is told: "your helmet must have picked it up cuz u were so far out..Past our communication buffers."
while fixing the energy panels, Tennessee could be (say Max. A kilometer or 2 from the covenant.In space what's a measly 2-3 km ?? ..absolutely Peanuts. When distances are calculated in ASTRONOMICAL UNITs |LIGHT YEARs | PARSEC. Etc.
So a measly Helmet gets it , while a Gigantic spaceship a few chicken-s&*t km. Apart does not :0
All in all ..a Nice way to pass the 2h 2m film , when you are a space buff.
