Goodbye Alien

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2017)

Goodbye Alien, that is literally my emotional condition after every Alien movie. Also this time, but in a different context. I would like to have it back, and let the horror begin. Because this late Ridley Scott Alien movie is not like a good aged wine, this one is stale and skewed. And it not genius at all. What is Alien Covenant about? In short, is about taking the best parts out of its predecessors, adding some new planet ambiance, and half a dozen good new shots. That's it. The way Ridley Scott tried to emphazise the mysticism about the Alien universe is quite obvious, just everything which should deserve a profound discussion, by all those smart talkers, which could read endless Alien comics and stories, unless they don't find anything else to dissect. After this movie, you'll get more scared by the idea how endless human colony ships could try to populate every planet in this universe with the same stupid blindfolded visionary creativism than any Xenomorph could. Alien Covenant reveals how the Alien universe has become a boring methodology. If you think you are going to see an outstanding action movie, nada. An outstanding thrilling horror movie, nada. But a lame society and creator vision-centered construct, which never came close to something like in Matrix. Does the Alien universe really need this genealogy thing? 5/10 Good Bye, Alien.
