Does it answer all of your questions from Prometheus?

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2017)

Alien Covenant is both a solid Prometheus sequel & Alien prequel, it does a fine job at tying into both worlds. I for one was a fan of Prometheus and was very keen to see which direction they would take this franchise. My thoughts below.........
The good:
Michael Fassbender - his performance as both Walter & David was amazing & played both characters very well, but I would have to say that him playing David was by far the most interesting character in the movie. His performance as David had you truly believe that what David was doing was justified, even when he had empathy when he had to kill or experiment on humans (Elizabeth Shaw in particular) as he believed they are a lesser specie & did not deserve to recreate life.
Cinematography: Ridley Scott does know how to direct a very good looking science fiction movie & this is no exception. Even though the planet that the Covenant ship lands on has nothing in it (apart from wheat) still manages to look great & somewhere you would like to visit (if there was no alien creatures on the planet however).
The Ending: Even though many have mentioned they seen the 'twist' coming, first time around i didn't pay too close attention to it & was genuinely surprised when it happened. I thought it was an interesting ending to see where the franchise will go next & to see what David is truly capable of. Adding the face hugger embryos within the human embryos was a nice touch & will be truly terrifying for when the colonists finally wake up.
The bad:
The characters: Other reviewers have said this also but they do have a fair point, as there are several dumb things that the characters do throughout the movie, example of this is the newly appoint captain sticks his head over a face hugger egg as David tells him there is nothing to worry about & of course latches onto his face & an alien ends up inside of him. The characters that made up the crew were not necessarily bad just a few moments like this seemed to be abit predictable.
Storyline: I wouldn't say that the storyline was necessarily bad, just went in a different direction than I would have anticipated, as I said I liked Prometheus & wanted to see the continuation of finding out more about the creation side of things in this movie, however was dismissed fairly quickly by David bombing all the engineers with that black goo & therefore he ends up being the deranged scientist that creates the aliens? I guess since Prometheus divided fans on the franchise was the reasoning behind making the storyline pan out this way.
I felt slightly disappointed after seeing the movie as it didn't quite answer all the questions hanging over our heads from Prometheus. But the movie itself was quite entertaining and am very keen to see what David does next & definitely a solid return to form for the alien side of things after some very disappointing sequels (in particular alien resurrection).
