Disappointing......same ol fan treatment....alienating us that is.

*No spoilers.....but some strong hints**
The single most disappointing thing about this film is very familiar indeed.
They spent the entire Prometheus film building the lead character. They made her strong and resourceful, much like Ripley. Then in Alien covenant, it was almost like all of that effort meant nothing at all.
At the end of Prometheus, I think we were promised a face-off or confrontation between Shaw and the Engineers?! Does anyone disagree??
Alien covenant pretty much ignored and disregarded Prometheus, and just dumped it like a bad habit.
The movie was well put together, and great action and effects. I simply did not like the direction of the film, and how little we learned of the Engineers, which is why Shaw wanted to go there.
I personally could not wait to see the story arc continued and see how Shaw would interact on the Engineers planet.
What a rip off.
Reminds me of Alien 3, when Hicks and Newt were just so easily discarded, after all that character building and bonding.
The film industry has no regard for fan connections to characters.
The movie was good. Awesome even.....just not really the sequel to Prometheus that was expected! If I never saw Prometheus, this would have been better.
