The hate is not deserved and I'll tell you why.

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2017)

Look, I'm going to say this now: if you saw Alien: Covenant and thought that it was predictable because you "knew Walter was actually David the whole time" at the end of the film, you're a moron. That's called dramatic irony, defined as something that the audience knows, but the actors don't. So please don't belittle this movie with your ignorance about film just because you want to hate on something and feel smarter than everyone else. That aside, I love the Alien films (including Prometheus) and this one was no different. It made me appreciate Prometheus even more as we got to see David's thought process and explained his vision for a new race of Xenomorphs. It's truly terrifying and it was awesome to see the Xenomorph on the big screen after seeing its evolution in the previous film. The complaint about stupid characters is unnecessary as I am sure everyone who complained about that would've done much the same thing the characters did when you're trapped on a foreign planet or in a spaceship with an angry Alien hunting you down. All in all, rant pretty much over, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I'm excited to see where Ridley Scott takes this story line in the future. If you are a true Alien fan, you'll stand by this film because you know what it brings to the Alien universe that we all so love. All of the haters are just simpletons who like to bash on "corporate film" without an ounce of reason to back them up without pointing out minor things that if they were making this movie, it would've been far, far worse. So, appreciate this movie for what it is to this long-standing franchise that we have all grown up with: a brutal, space thriller that grosses yet inspires us to our very core. Thank you, Ridley Scott for all that you've done for this franchise and keep on doing it.
