Alien: Covenant

"Somehow, this movie from 2017 had managed to remain hidden from me, I was completely unaware of its existence until now. Set in the timeline 10 years after Prometheus, we follow the crew of a colonization spaceship that answers a distress call and finds their way to an unknown planet that has all the elements needed to support life. Michael Fassbender pulls double duty, playing both protagonist and antagonist as two synthetic androids, Walter and David. Ridley Scott has created an amazing looking film, complete with exceptional production design, CGI, action sequences, soundtrack and creature design. Where things fall apart a bit is in the writing and character development. First, the crew must be the most inept to ever man a spacecraft. To not take any precautions when visiting a completely unknown planet isn't just ridiculously laughable but it makes it difficult for the audience to feel bad for the characters. The focus seems to be aimed at Fassbender's characters leaving very little meat on the bone for anyone else. The story bridges the gap in the evolution of the Xenomorph, revealing that the synthetic android David conspired against the human creators to become a creator himself, expanding on the alien life form. There are some slow spots around the middle, but overall, the pace moves fairly well. I don't think it hit the horror aspects, but it was a decent action/sci-fi flick. I enjoyed it. 7.5/10"

"Annie like it so everyone has to like it. 😜"

"One of my favorites!"

"Entertaining enough for me with good acting and honestly really liked how the aliens looked . "

"Jussie Smollett kinda ruins this film for me"

"How are we so trusting of David, even when he was suspicious the entire time!! "

"This movie is so bad that I love it. Great production and direction as this film is a gold covered turd. The script is awful, the characters are all just disposable hot people and Michael Fassbender is devouring every scene as the most pver the top villain of all time. You can tell Fassbender is having fun and that is why I own this incredibly stupid movie."

"More suspenseful, intense, and satisfying than its predecessor, "Prometheus". Whereas most directors would have left Prometheus as a cliche cliffhanger one-off, Ridley Scott chose to continue the story and further explain the Alien universe. Michael Fassbender is amazing. Don't let anyone spoil the twists of this film for you before you see it! The same themes of religion, creation, and life as in Prometheus, but with better action sequences and a more terrifying alien threat. You'll love this if you love the franchise and its lore."

"Higher stakes than its predecessor."

"Michael Fassbender is insane"
