Predictable, flat

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2017)

We still go to sequels of great movies with the dumb expectation that somewhere in the mind of the lazy same old screenwriters there is a trace of fresh inspiration left. And again we find out it's not! Hollywood's obsession with franchises and going safe by using on and on the same creative gurus lead to the today's sci-fi apocalypse where for years now there is not one single sequel to rise to the grandeur of the original movie. It's the case of Covenant where there is no major innovative plot twist to save this movie. Just some mediocre philosophical rhetoric which can't compensate for the chronic lack of ideas. And as always with every recent sci-fi movies, the screenwriters are not only creatively dry, but they are technically outdated, presenting future technology inferior to today's one.
