did not deliver what it was supposed to...

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2017)

After Prometheus didn't deliver much except a great setup for a sequel and some nice sceneries, I expected a lot more of this movie. I was hyped up to find out what the motives of these engineers were, basically since the movie did a great job posing this question. What we got in alien covenant was just a faint echo of this plot, just enough to segway right into the generic story line of every alien movie. It felt apologetic for diverging on different paths with Prometheus and seemed to be an attempt at playing it safe since probably they got a lot of criticism for trying something new and exciting... This was a waste of time and money for just another generic monster movie without any attention to characters or a decent story line. It was a disconnect from what could have been a really interesting new universe and failed by staying right where it wanted to return to. The only continuation of the Prometheus story was that they apparently still only send idiots on their multi-billion dollar space exploration missions and a great performance by Michael Fassbender.
