Hire a Smarter Crew for a Better Outcome!!!

(Flash Review)
Ridley....you learned nothing from your egregious mistakes directing Prometheus. Yarg! This is a sequel to Prometheus which was an embarrassingly poorly written movie and while far from a comedy it contained an abundance of laughable moments. Again the crew is extremely unprofessional for being entrusted to manage an expensive multi-year mission!! They are much too cavalier; smoking and littering just after setting foot on a new planet!!, making lewd jokes while executing a risky landing, ignoring quarantine protocol, exploring without protective breathing gear while inspecting and handling and SNIFFING foreign objects. I learned that in junior high science class!! Why!?! Why are they so idiotic? It ruins the movie! I believe the crew of the original Alien were along the lines of intergalactic trash haulers and they made smart character decisions. The main plot is the crew of The Covenant are searching for a safe planet to start a new colony yet the captain is easily swayed to deviate due to some initial findings of a unmapped planet that looks inviting. Secondarily, are themes that revolve around created beings deciding to become creators of the alien species. And what does it mean to be created or be the creator. The movie is not a smart or cleverly written by any means and there is absolutely zero tension even with mean and hungry alien things running around. To top it off, It reused the historically famous original Alien opening movie titles. I'm not yet sure if I approve of that.
