Don't believe the haters

I was amazed on how quickly the hate list grew regarding Alien Covenant.
This is not your typical Alien film, just like its predecessor Prometheus: it has an actual plot that follows a consistent story arc. If you haven't seen Prometheus, you are in the dark.
In addition, you have Fassbender at his best and some stunning visual effects.
Some flaws are obvious: The rest of the cast is sub par (prometheus had an amazing overall cast). Most of the crew behaves unprofessionally in a crisis situation. But that's it.
And regarding predictability - it was less predictable than all its predecessors.
Complain as much as you want - this was a good film.
