The saga getting serious. (Spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2017)

I've read the reviews of "hardcore Alien fans", and i do not understand why they get upset about the way Ridley Scott sews the saga of Alien.
Seeing with my 21 years old eyes the old movies weren't scary at all. They could not bring the nerve wrecking atmosphere to the screen for me, even though i watched the first one at theater, too. They did not have a plot, just a black monster killing crew members in a very vanilla way.
So after saying i did not like the old movies (only Aliens, the second part of the saga), i would like to tell you, what things i found excellent in Prometheus and Alien:Covenant.
The plot, that the old movies did not have: The tale of discovery, creation, destruction, men and god, men and androids. The movie is playing with the idea that we were created by a superficial species, and questions what artificial intelligence may be capable of. The dialogues, the quotes, the android's curiosity for nature, and fondness for classical music are things which appealed to me very much.
The atmosphere that put me always on the edge: The colors, the landscape of the planet, the buildings and bodies of the ancient "gods" make a very unique atmosphere. I liked it.
The realistic portrayal of alien species slaughtering the crew members: We can see the killings in a very detailed way, which personally, made me feel very uncomfortable, and that is one of the goals of horror, in my opinion. As for me these could have shown just a little bit more of gore, since it would make the movie more characteristic.
All in all i really like what Ridley Scott decided to do with the Alien saga, making it more serious, story oriented, and not leaving it to be a stupid killing fest. The only thing that would have made the movie a bit better would be showing a bit more of the killing scenes. Not that i like gore, but that would have made the film more memorable.
The things that got into my mind after watching the movie: David killed our creators, and developed the best killers, Aliens. That is an awesome plot twist... So indirectly humans created aliens, and killed their own "gods".Some say God made a mistake when he created us, because we are slowly killing Earth, and its cohabitants. Are we doing a mistake by making A.I. so developed? Stephen Hawking says so...
