Easy the Weakest Movie of the Alien Saga

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2017)

O Ridley, what have you done!?
I am a great and longtime fan of the Alien franchise and despite the bad receiving of Prometheus I like that one a lot too, but Covenant!?
Covenant is easy by far the weakest movie of the Alien-Zyklus, on top the resolution where the breed of the Aliens comes from is just not imaginative, but boring and a clichÃ© on top. What makes the movie even worse is the behavior of the crew - whereas in the first Alien movie the crew did a good fight and used a lot of wits to survive it seems en vogue nowadays to let the protagonists act with an IQ of 60 and below - same with the last sci-fi horror movie Life which had so much potential but ppl acting like they left their brain behind somewhere on the Earth spoil everything.
BIG SPOILER: The moment Fassbender number 1 cut his hair everyone with some wits would know why he did so, or what he's up to... Kitsch. (I am always amazed that the writers assume that their protagonists have never seen a movie and smell such simple feints miles ahead.)
If this is all Mr. Ridley is able to envision to contribute to the Alien saga I have one plea - let do someone else the job and don't add another mediocre and redundant piece to the story.
