Janie C. Entertaining!! Great movie great sequel to the Alien prequel Prometheus. If you’ve seen the Alien movies in order of story timeline you’ll know this movie is the key to all the rest and they did a fantastic job with the screenplay the script the directing the acting and on and on. It worth watching multiple times cause there’s just so much to unpack that reveals so much of the key facts in the later movies. I really don’t understand why this movie got just a 65% Tomato rating. I’m giving it a standing ovation. 👍👍 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Munchie A A bit disappointing as the sequel to Prometheus and marred by Noomi Rapace’s absence. Nonetheless, this movie has a really icky vibe and has a lot of frights. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Romas M Greetings from Lithuania. "Alien: Covenant" (2017) is a way lesser sequel to the far superior "Prometheus" (2012). Clearly the ton has changed and this film leant more into "Alien" films as we know it, because box office and most likely studio demands got in a way of Ridley Scotts ambitious. But his ambitious are still present - the whole idea of "Covenant" and David as a character is to elevate this franchise into something far more intellectually and philosophically ambitious then it was before. And that is were problems with these two film begins. The ideas are bigger then they needed to be. Because at the end of the day, "Alien" isn't "Blade Runner" and there are no point into exploring idea of why and who created human, when at its core "Alien" is a horror thriller science fiction franchise. The whole creation idea belongs not in Alien franchise in my opinion. And in comparison, "Covenant" this time is more about xenomorph. I loved "Prometheus" back in 2012, and the latest movie serves as a sequel to "Prometheus", prequel to "Alien" and a standalone movie - but as of 2025 this spin off ended with Covenant. It is not hard to see way. It's a hard to sell idea, far more ambitious then more simple "Romulus" - film that i enjoyed a bit more then "Covenant" because its simply an "Alien" film once again. Still, "Covenant" is a very good film to look at. Ridley Scott is a great director when it comes to visuals, and with far lesser budget then "Prometheus", he still managed to make a film that is mostly a gorgeous to look at. Settings were good, acting was uniformly good by everyone with the standout performance by the always great Michael Fassbender and surprisingly solid by Danny McBride. This time is more about xenomorph - and i enjoyed it for that. There are few amazingly staged action sequences near the end. Overall, "Alien: Covenant" is a very well crafted movie for those who loved "Alien" movies and this universe. It is very ambitious movie in its ideas, but at the same time those ideas were to heavy for this film to fly. It stumbles heavily and it is a mixed bag. Still this is a great looking movie and at the running time 2 hours i was involved despite its flaws. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review matt s While it relies too much on Prometheus which we can all agree had faults and some janky CGI towards the end, the sheer acting force of Michael Fassbender in dual rolls makes this a must-see. A real alien movie but I can see for some people its head is up its ass a bit too much. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Alex I Halfway in I was rooting for the aliens — at least they had motivation.
