Disappointing follow-up

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2017)

For some reason, this movie went on a pretty wide detour from the preceding Prometheus (which set the audience up for a movie with as much scope and cosmic implication).
So although Covenant can stand on its own as an adventure sci-fi from the angle of colonist preparation and awareness (as opposed to a militaristic theme like "Aliens"). This is why Covenant is given a so- so rating. There are numerous problems that most reviewers have covered so far, so I won't go into them. But the fact the crew failed to ensure basic protection when exploring the alien planet either means lazy script writing, or some subtle dig at optimistic people (?).
Back to the main point: Prometheus set the audience up for high expectations that Covenant failed to deliver.
