Could a Predator have saved this movie? No.

Rating: 3/10 (14 November 2017)

First off, I was in the "Prometheus was OK, but way too many questions were raised" camp. I waited all those years for Covenant to answer them.
While I did get the answers I was waiting for, I was not given them in a particularly entertaining way. I had to wade through two hours of incredibly stupid characters, and total predictability to stick it out to the end to figure things out. Even then, my real personal curiosity - that is with the Engineers - was just glossed over.
I'll be even more brutally honest. I watched this on an airplane and the sound was cutting out in the second half of the movie. Frankly that made the movie better because by then I already knew what was going to happen and only goes to show how bad the movie is that the sound and music added nothing to the enjoyment of the film.
As in my title, this movie could have been worse, Predators could have appeared. No, no, I take that back, that would have made it less predictable.
Please don't green-light the "trilogy" for the sake of it being a "trilogy". Just let Alien fade away.
