Better than Prometheus.

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2017)

I am not a huge fan of this franchise and I'm not a great fan of the horror genre. But the 'Alien' franchise is very interesting and I always watch the movies. For me 'Covenant' is a lot better than 'Prometheus'. It answers so many questions that 'Prometheus' didn't and add the elements of horror and action that characterize 'Alien' and 'Aliens'. The dual role of Fassbender is fantastic. In fact, he's the heart of the whole movie. The philosophical questions and dynamic about 'creator and creation' elevates the story. The rest of the cast is OK but nothing exceptional. The CGI on the creatures is awesome. I was hesitant to see this movie and I'm glad I did. I guess the prequel story to 'Alien' will continue with at least one more movie and 'Covenant' is a good sign to things to come.
