richard-35002 Michael fassbender plays an amazing dilemma between robots. Ridley Scott directs a poor movie about aliens when he clearly wanted it to be about something else

Mike Sutherland When Elizabeth Shaw and David blasted off into space at the end of Prometheus, I was excited to see her next adventure. What we got was NOT this adventure. I loved Noomi Rapace in this movie and to kill off the next possible, iconic female lead in the next step of the franchise was just, well, lame! The Aliens we know don't float as particles and up peoples noses. They get laid in the throat by a facehugger! To be honest, these crazy ideas to create different aliens just makes things too complicated! And the fact that our dear aliens were created by some crazy droid is just........stupid! So, aliens evolved from humans! What was Ridley Scott thinking? You've beyond damaged your franchise and brought nothing new here. Was so disappointed.

kevintrice This is my first review and I'm taking the time to do it at 12:30 in the morning just because I hated this film so much. I'm not a big Star Wars guy but I've always heard how their fans were so pissed when episodes 1-3 came out because they didn't compare to the originals. As a huge Alien and Aliens fan(less so for Alien 3), I feel your pain. I can't believe Ridley Scott directed both Alien and this disaster, just as you couldn't believe George Lucas was responsible for 4-6 and then 1-3. There must be another Ridley Scott out there and HE did this one, right? This film doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Resurrection-at least that film was entertaining, if not high quality. I won't ruin the plot for you but I'll sum my review up this way: Covenant's plot is confusing, there is little to no character development in the film(you barely know the characters by the time they die, which seems to be all they're in the movie for), the gore is over the top, the Alien looked scarier 30 years ago with less special effects, and finally this movie commits perhaps the worst sin of all: its boring. There are some nods to the original if you look closely enough and they borrow from Jerry Goldsmith's incredible score, but those are the only pluses. If you're a true Alien fan like me and have so far avoided this movie, keep your streak going.

rcherigatto I know they were expecting a lot for this prometheus sequence and with high expectations many people found it bad. I instead found the movie more terror and with very good science fiction! Another great movie from the alien franchise!
