Alien Resurrection was already pushing it's luck as franchise. Prometheus had potential, until the aliens came along, at which point predictability set in. Alien Covenant - Oh Dear God No!! For once it isn't entirely set on a space ship, a lush green planet devoid of life. A certain amount of originality went into the "impregnation" scenario, beyond that, I probably could have spliced half the movie together from the original 3 - I mean, how many times are we going to see the "chest burst", the "face latch". Simply changing location and cast does not a watchable movie make. If you have lived in a vacuum these past 20 years and have never seen another Alien movie - you'll probably still think it's a load of crap!!
