Forget the Haters, Covenant is Amazing

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2017)

OK, so I scrolled through around 3 pages of reviews on IMDb and every single one of them said Covenant is complete and utter garbage that isn't worth your money or time. I have no clue what movie these people went to see or what they were expecting, but Covenant is fantastic.
I've seen every Alien film, including those pieces of garbage AVP. I've also seen most of Scott's work and generally enjoy his films. If you are an Alien fan then I cannot understand what it is you don't like about this film. Sure, it's kind of a re-hash of Alien with the story elements of Prometheus put into it, but that's exactly what I wanted after Prometheus. I wanted to see Xenomorphs and a crew of people trying to escape it's terror, while also learning a bit more about what the hell was happening in Prometheus. That's what Scott did with this film, and then some.
Scott created a solid Alien movie that further explores the questions brought forth in Prometheus and does a hell of a job. The acting is solid and the set design/atmosphere is phenomenal, as usual when it comes to Ridley Scott. We finally find out where the Xenomorph came from and who/what created it. Sure, there are questions left unanswered, but I didn't come into this film wanting my hand held, as it seems most of the negative reviews want. It's as if people wanted a movie where Ridley Scott comes out with a PowerPoint slide of "this is what I did and why and following the presentation will be a Q&A session."
The haters of this film seem to be EXTREMELY nit-picky. If you have such an issue with the small stuff "not making sense because people wouldn't do that" then how bout you go back and apply that logic to the first Alien film? I'm sure you'll notice some stuff.
Overall, if you enjoy Alien and you enjoy Prometheus then this is a must-watch. It's a terrific sci-fi horror and in today's world those types of films are a rarity. Kudos, Mr. Scott, for making an Alien film worthy of the canon.
