woodengunworks Review of Alien: Covenant

Alien: Covenant (2017)

Ten minutes into the movie and I wished every character get killed!

[1/10 · 7 August 2017]

This movie is so bad, I think it doesn't even deserve a review. But since Scott is a big name, and we expected so much, so there we go. Who decided to send bunch of bonehead for such important and expensive mission? When you get a job, even a simple job, you have to be trained a little. Now you are supposed to represent whole human race and try to find a new home for human race, you will be trained extra hard until you don't remember your mother's name. But in Alien: Covenant, what we see is bunch of bums, like the commission just pick the crew randomly on the street and immediately send them on the zillion dollar spaceship. There is no protocol, no strict rules about how to make decisions, how to deal any situations. I supposed this kind of mission will take 50 years to prepare and a protocol that directs any possible situation would be made, and every crew member is supposed to be chose or voted by everyone on earth. Scott tried to make this movie very authentic, then be so. But, sadly, no. The whole movie is just a big laughing stock. After ten minutes I just wished every crew member gets killed by aliens. That is how bad this movie is.
