Had massive high hopes for this seeing Ridley Scott back in control. Starts off fine but moment they land on the planet its just downhill really really fast. First of all who the hell would send an expedition out to explore an unknown planet without proper environmental suits- however earth-like it looks? They could be so many alien parasites and germs (as it so happens). Even the Apollo Lunar Astronauts were put in 3 weeks quarantine when they came back from a near-vacuum landscape. Come On Ridley Scott- you better than this. Just that point made me wanna stop watching this crap.
Afterwards it just becomes a merging of the first two Alien movies. Been there seen that 10 times better.
And the xenomorphs are just too fast and hard to kill compared to whats already been put on film in Alien and Aliens, so much so that it spits in the face of those two masterpieces so to speak. And also the CGI makes them look much less realistic, less organic than the practical creature effects of the first two films.
This is a perfect example of a director eviscerating his own franchise. Even the Alien vs Predator movies are far superior to this.
Just watch Alien(1979) and Aliens(1986)and forget Covenant ever happened.
