Unbearably stupid or a pure joy?

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2017)

Quick review here.
It was nice to be in space this afternoon seeing much more of the alien progressing from birth to full grown (lots of baby aliens attacking which was cool). a sublime performance by Michael Fassbander.
To enjoy COVENANT though you have to be able to ignore and I mean COMPLETELY ignore and accept the outrageously stupid decisions the crew make.
I understand this is a horror film, set in space... it is. ALIEN was just that - SO people will go wandering off. People will make ridiculous decisions. The crew could be stupider than characters from the collective Friday 13th series. Ridley tries to convince us that these decisions are made because the crew working together are partners (never work with your husband/wife/partner folks!)..
Without Michael this film would not have worked, of that much I am convinced. His screen presence... playing two characters - much applause to him.
As for Ridley well - thanks for making this. You do give us some answers, you give us some good amount of blood and gore and action so thanks. Leaving the world with Prometheus would have been BAD.
I had a blast really... but do not overthink it.... if he does decide, and Ridley said he plans to make one or TWO more then OK.. no doubt I will attend and turn my IQ down a little.
Go find a very large screen sit back and enjoy it. No need to feel guilty :)
