Did IQ's drop sharply while I was away?

Rating: 2/10 (21 May 2017)

Save your money and time! this movie is a mess. I gave it a 2 because the visuals and FX are good (although quite standard, no evidences of the strong visual style of Ridley Scott, which made historic movies as Alien or Blade Runner)
The movie is dumb, with a ridiculous and predictable plot, full of stupid and cringe situations, unlikable, weak and undeveloped characters, illogical decisions, the baddest Science Fiction ever, lack of suspense or thrill, and complete lack of coherence with other movies in the Alien universe, specially with the original and legendary Alien ( which is still the best movie of the saga, followed closely by Cameron's Aliens)
When I was watching the movie, I remembered the quote of Ellen Ripley in Aliens: "Did IQ's drop sharply while I was away?" because it seems that the IQ of the writers dropped sharply from 1986 to now.
Please Mr. Scott, stop making movies. Maybe it is time to retirement, before you completely ruin your reputation. To the writers: I recommend to think more, watch previous movies, increase your science-fiction culture and study more before writing. During writing, please, use Wikipedia or something.
Now some spoilers:

The movie is bad from minute 1 to the end. The spaceship design is illogical and, aside of this, what to say about the "neutrino burst" that damaged the ship. C'mon, seriously? is it so time consuming to check what the heck is a neutrino in google?. According to the writers, neutrinos are more or less like cal .050 bullets fired directly to the spaceship by hundreds of machine-guns. In a movie for fans of Aliens and Sci-Fi is highly probable that a LOT of people in the cinema knows what actually is a neutrino. This situation kick you off the movie. When the "neutrinos" damaged the ship, there where A LOT of laughing in the theater. - This movie contains which probably is the most ridiculous character ever played by James Franco. Together with neutrinos, are unintended comedy. - What to say about the mad android trying to rape a girl or kissing to his twin brother. - The crew of the ship exhibit constantly a complete lack of human intelligence. I would need too much space and time to detail the cringe and illogical movements and actions of the crew. - The movie contains a blatant and SHAMELESS copy of situations taken from Cameron's Aliens, but much WORSE. Specially the fight against the alien which managed to reach the spaceship and is expelled to the space (sounds familiar?). So, add a complete lack of originality to this mess. - So, the mad android made genetic experiments in a cave, without laboratory and without any animal to experiment with. Also he draw a lot of medieval-like scrolls with drawings taken from Giger... SMART, WRITERS! - I could continue...but I spent enough time with this mess. Overall, this movie is a complete failure, a pathetic attempt to revive the past glory, which could be summarized in the use of specific visual elements used by Scott in the old good times (chains, industrial look of the spaceship...) and taking situations from the old good movies and using it after removing the emotion, intelligence and suspense. Covenant sadly converted Alien 4 and Prometheus in good movies.
