Ash P This is the second Alien prequel that I'd never seen before when I was younger. But seeing this the first time, this is honestly better than Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, but his does feel like a step backwards from how Prometeus has done so well. It was still a marvel of visual beauty, its mythology and creepy imagery. Unlike Prometheus that has the characters be scientists who make dumb decisions is how discovery with exploration is more understandable to make sense. Sadly, these colonists, for having a few okay scenes, don't make the best decisions at best. The beginning and the surprise ending were the best parts of the story while the middle was a little rough to sit through. I will give the movie credit that the suspense and scenes involving the alien and the effects used are a bit better than say Alien 3's alien dog being too cartoony. The one twist had me blown while a few twists range from okay to predictable. If I have to rank the whole Alien franchise, this would have to be in the fourth spot. 6/10. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Arnoldo L These bad reviews are absolutely mind blowing. This movie is visually a masterpiece , with creepy dark tones and a great l score to go along this movie deserves some appreciation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Bill W Terrible lead, none of the characters are relatable, non-sensical decisions throughout, no idea what the motivations of the villain are, predictable twists, plot contrivances to move the "story" forward, killed major players in the universe off-screen. It is technically an Alien film, and that's all the good I can say about it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Aidan B Visuals are nothing short of jaw dropping, and the cinematography is absolutely stellar. The action and horror were also done fairly well, though the expendable characters never really made me care what would happen to them. Speaking of the characters, these were by far the absolute worst in the franchise; I never really cared for any of them and each and every one of them constantly makes terrible decisions throughout that are just bafflingly stupid. I also felt that this movie ruined a lot of the setup that Prometheus (I film that I actually really enjoyed) had going for it. In the end, I thought "Alien: Covenant" was a gorgeous and enjoyable at parts movie, though is a really big letdown when considering what preceded it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Nate A May be the worst of the franchise. Which is saying something. Feels like a plot written by ChatGPT with the instructions to be as predictable generic as possible. Even if you've never seen any of the other Alien movies, you will know exactly what happens next every step of the way because this is derivative storytelling at it's stalest. There's not a single original thought here. Even the CGI is pretty bad by modern standards. And I know we should be forgiving of sci-fi allowances, but there are lot--A LOT--of science and physics sins in this one. I think the most entertaining part of this was seeing McBride (mostly) out of his usual typecasting. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Tim S Once again we are forced to endure a military style expeditionary force that seems unaware of microscopic vectors. It is about as frustrating as it gets in this one. And once the damage is done and monsters start chewing and bleeding and impregnating, we are likewise subjected to shrieks and unprofessional performance FROM AN INTERSTELLAR colonizing SPACE ship. COME ON!!! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
