So the first Alien is a forever classic and this one is an instant bulls...t, uh?

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2017)

Spoiler Alert!!!
My cons of the movie: lack of novelty to a certain extent, not enough alien action scenes, needs better character development.
My pros of the movie: the Blade Runner-like android element, great performance by Michael Fassbender, excellent visuals, follows well the Alien story and pays homage to the original movie.
My personal score: 7/10 (Still lower than the official score of the total rip-off called "Star Wars: Force Awakens" (2015)).
Perhaps many people do NOT realize how many similar aspects there are between the first movie "Alien" (1979) and this one "Alien: Covenant" (2017). Let's see some of them:
1) The spaceship computer intercepts a strange, unknown signal from some planet nearby. After some argument with his fellow passengers, the captain decides to change the initial course and go to investigate – It happened in both movies (Check!)
2) Taking stupid decisions – let's lean towards this giant alien egg that looks like a carnivorous plant and see what happens – It happened in both movies (Check!)
3) Bending safety procedures (trained astronauts acting stupid 2) – by letting inside the ship a crew member infected by an unknown alien strainthen performing operations without any protective equipment – It happened in both movies (Check!)
4) Dead crew member in a body bag launched into the open space – It happened in both movies (Check!)
5) Android goes insane – Ash (1979) and David (2017) behave kind of abnormal for an android – It happened in both movies (Check!)
6) Android helping alien all along – It happened in both movies (Check!)
7) The twist at the end – alien in the shuttle / evil android in the ship – It happened in both movies (Check!)
Then why some people praise so much "Alien" (1979) and hate "Alien: Covenant" (2017)? Perhaps these people should stop whining like babies. Instead of writing 1000-word critical reviews, why don't they write 1000 words every day in the next 3 months and create their own, perhaps better, version of the next Alien chapter? What do you say  you are not a professional scriptwriter?; well, you don't write critical reviews for a living, either.
