Decemberdike December 17th Alien: Covenant (2017)
A complete mess of a film from Ridley Scott. It seems he forgot what made Alien so good and decided to opt for a CGI cop out Xenomorph which would have been more suited to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The characters were instantly forgettable. Fassbender merely did his Fassbender thing and Katherine Waterston, supposedly a Ripley for the 2010's, has the screen persona of a bin liner. The rest were so poor i've completely forgotten them not 24 hours later.
Whereas Scott's earlier Prometheus was thoughtful and clever this came over as a mish mash of greatest hits from other better Alien movies. In fact the film is as muddled as it's poster below.
Rubbish.
