It was a fine film in terms of visuals & effects.
As for story and continuing the alien storyline, meh. So much anticipation built up after the
Prometheus debacle and Scott just rehashes the same story with elements of the original
Alien thrown in.
Neither the Neomorph nor the Xenomorph were scary, and we had another crew of 15 for which nobody cared about. At least Elizabeth Shaw had a strong vibe going in
Prometheus, whereas Daniels was just another crew member in
Covenant. Disappointing.
The only one who did anything worth his salt was Fassbender, but there's only so much one talent can do, in a film designed to dazzle and make you go oohs and aahs by throwing a Xenomorph into the fray.
Ridley has definitely lost his touch. High time someone replaces him and continues the mythology. I dread to imagine what all they will conjure up for the 3rd part, and connect it with the original Alien. Whatever it will be, I am sure we should brace ourselves for another disappointment.
My rating would be 2 and half stars. I think I liked
Prometheus better than this one, plotholes aside.
