Awful Would be and Undeserved Compliment

Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2018)

When I learned that Ridley Scott had done another xenomorph prequel I assumed that the tsunami of negative comments on "Prometheus" would at least trigger some professional pride in Scott and his collaborators. It did not.
"Covenant" makes the same mistakes and adds some new ones. That is depressing to contemplate. It signals a complete lack of respect for Scott's audience and a total disregard for his art form.
I won't rehash the many criticisms detailed in other reviews. Suffice it to say that the plot is absurd, the characters have zero dimension (except the androids), and the CGI is particularly bad in spots. I'm inclined to think the acting is weak, except that the writing is so puerile that it is difficult to draw any conclusions in that respect.
In any case, the primary reason for this post is to vote against the positive ratings that so many have given "Covenant". It does not deserve the rating that it has on IMDB.
