Pretty on the outside, but hollow and lacking within.

Rating: 2/10 (17 March 2018)

As a visual spectacle alone Covenant is superb, however the problem arises when you actually start watching it.
As a statement of how the xenomorph came to exist it's cheap and very easy. With predictable ending twists, even more irritating story lines, and it commits the worst mistake a sci-fi movie can make; it's boring.
As a film that follows the mission of the Prometheus to discover mankind's creators, to then completely discard this element of story and go a different way feels disappointing and totally lazy.
One of the best looking, but structurally flawed and utterly hollow entries into the Alien franchise and a disappointment to all cinema goers.
