The problem with Covenant is that its a filler for what has come before and is very predictable cause we know it's a prequel on how we got to where we are.
Alien the movie that started it all was a slow ratchet of the tension and got you engrossed in the story that unfolded. Covenant tries to do this as well but runs out of steam and then tries to quickly cram in the reveal in the last act or 5 mins of the film. Covenant also has to explain its self a lot to hook you back in to stop you getting bored, such as at the start of them movie i thought hang on there is massive blooper going on here with one particular character, only for a plot device to be put in to clear that and other things up.
I scored it 5 as the pacing is very poor, the visuals are stunning as you can expect from a Ridley Scott movie and the detail was good, though i couldn't help thinking is what I'm watching very CGI.
