Alien: Covenant

Was looking forward to Prometheus sequel. Could have done something great with Shaw and David but they just threw it all away. Film smacks of studio interference.

This movie is directed extremely well, with great cinematography and a few likeable characters but mostly want I want to say about this movie is Michael Fassbender gives his greatest performance ever

Love this film - Prometheus and this one do a really good job at expanding the Alien Universe. I love that they didn't just go with another Alien sequel with lots of Aliens - we don't need to see more Aliens - it's been done too many times. I like that they have put more thought into it and tried to find where we came from and who created the Alien and why. Can't wait for the next one but it's been a while now, so hurry up Ridley get to work on it and stop wasting time on other stuff...we really don't need a Gucci movie!

Excellent film great acting, suspense, and a future for the Prometheus saga.

SPOILERS ALERT Unrelentingly bleak and uncompromising, Ridley has done away with the sermonising and nonsensical Star Trek style plotting of Prometheus and has made something harsh and brutal. AC elevates the beast to a mythical status inviting us to worship at the altar of madness. Previous Alien films had Ripley to root for, and with it came a warmth and humanity that shone in the darker places, while Katherine Waterston's performance is great, she is a traumatised victim from the get-go. As for our hero Shaw, suitably befitting the bleak tone...well you have to wait and see if you don't already know. It's really Fassbender's film though, how actor's must love the opportunity to play roles facing off with themselves - finally he has someone that understands the minutae nuances of his performance. So, another joyless dirge that this time plays out the full horror of genocide that the previous entries only alluded to and thankfully avoided. Nothing to hope for. No-one to root for. There will probably be a sequel.

Loved it

A cheap copy of the original with awful acting

Film is ok. Not a touch on Alien once again or very scary but well acted and reasonable story. The problem I have is the quality of the iTunes 4K version seems very poor. Even more so since the update to iOS 12. Dark scenes suffer most with loads of blocking.

One of the worst let downs in my cinematic experience. An awful, heartless, boring mess. Enough Ridley this damaged the franchise more than Prometheus. Looks good though...
