sdilaudo Really enjoyed the movie and a massive improvement on Prometheus. Decent character s, nice visuals and good plot with some cool twists. Really don't know which movie most of the reviewers on here were actually watching! Aliens Special edition is still by far the best movie of the franchise and of all time!

austinfromdahood Ridley Scott has a history of making oh-so great movies, and also making pretty terrible films. He directed Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator, films that are so masterful and great. And he also made films like Robin Hood, Exodus Gods and Kings, and the movie I'm reviewing right now, Alien: Covenant. Let me start off by saying this film is almost awful. There are about a few redeeming factors in this film, but those things barely help the film, and I'll save those factors for the end. I want to start off this review with probably the biggest issue of this film, and that is the whole freaking script. If this script wasn't so bad and if Ridley Scott actually tried, I'd probably give this movie a 7/10 at most. But this script has too many problems. It copies off other Alien films, there are unnecessary things, and also missing things. If I elaborated on the unnecessary and missing things, I'd have to go into spoilers, and I don't want to do that in this review. The script also makes decisions and twists that didn't work for me at all. The ending and the events leading up to it for the most part didn't sell it for me and I simply pretty much hated the whole script. There are also decisions in this film that I didn't fully agree with and there are also A LOT of times where I wanted to scream at the characters because they do really dumb and out of context things. Michael Fassbender plays 2 different robots in this film, and the movie decides to spend a lot of time on these robots "bonding" and I thought it was a complete waste of time. It drastically slows down the movie and makes it boring. Many die hard Alien fans say this film is a disgrace, and I can safely say this film is a disgrace to the franchise as well even though I'm not a big fan of it. The few redeeming factors of this film is Michael Fassbender and Danny Mcbride's acting. They kinda saved this film from being completely awful, and their characters were somewhat likable. The rest of the cast were okay in terms of acting, but their actions and choices ruin it for me. The visuals and some of the intense scenes were very well done and those are all of the good parts of this films haha. Guys, please don't waste your time, stay away from this movie. 4/10

mantuxas-45285 This is probably the worst movie I have watched. Throughout the movie I expected things to spice up a little or something, but pretty much nothing happened and if something happened it was just boring garbage. For it's length I expected it to have something to show, but no it was literally just people walking around and stuff..

smilerbaker Where to start?? there is just so much wrong with this filmok, at the beginning - it just makes no sense, from the opening scene, a highly complex autonomous space craft identifies an oncoming catastrophe thats going to hit in a matter of seconds, but needs an android to hit a button to avoid it, who happens to be too far away from a console, seems we don't have wifi or bluetooth in the future then.And that was the smallest plot hole!!All these scientists then, for no reason, decide they aren't going to go to the planet that has been picked for them, surveyed etc etc but instead go to this totally unknown planet, do no checking before hand, no drones sent, no survey nothing, and land on it, all of them, at the same time, then just for kicks have no safety equipment at all - seems mankind gets even dumber in the futurenow just for kicks lets kill some people off, can't think of a decent way to do it?? well lets use the same way twice!! bingo, top idea, slipping on blood, those damn future shoes aren't too grippy.Well would you look at that, even though we didn't survey this world, WORLD, we seem to have managed to land within walking distance of the only 'living' thing on it, what are the odds??I wanted the aliens to kill everyone after about 20 minutes so I could leave.whoever wrote this rubbish should seriously look for a new career, walk around, talk to people, see that this just isn't what anyone would do, the characters acted like they where toddlers, not making bad decisions but totally unrealistic ones no one would ever make regardless of the situation.Hey fella, stick your head in this alien egg thing for me would ya, there's a good fellowThe rest of the film is a mash up of all the 'best' parts of the previous alien films, nothing new here at all.You know how frustrating all those horror films where back in the 60's / 70's where the woman (it was always a woman) would start running away, while looking over their shoulder, screaming, and inevitably trip, then not be able to get back up, just continue screaming, finally raise her arms as the monster get her? well alien covenant makes that look like the end of gone with the wind.There are far more plot holes, I just can't be bothered to list them, I've probably missed a load too in the confusion.The ending is laughably bad, the 'twist' you can guess as soon as they meet the bad android.and the less said about the main characters wig the better, why, just why?????don't waste your money on this, even if its on free tv, just don't
