Alien: Covenant

After the failure of Alien 3 and Resurrection, Sir Ridley Scott took back the project and started anew with prequels. That being said, both Prometheus and Covenant at least were consistent to the style and genre of Scott's original Alien.

Prometheus absolutely blew me away, not just from the beautiful visuals but the deep underlying theme. The movie had many religious allegories and deeper meaning that unfortunately escaped most of the audience. That is probably why Scott decided not to have any of that in Covenant, leaving it as just a mindless cliche sci-fi horror. It is exactly what you see on the surface.

It has its moments, created some new pre-alien and tells us how the alien came to be. However, that aside, the story is cliche, predictable, and the action scenes some what lackluster. And to top it off, as many have mentioned, one insufferable selfish and incompetent crew.

Not really top of the line, but it gets its job done and there's not really anything that bothers me like Alien 3 or Resurrection. A 6 would be a justifiable score.
