Jake M This film seemed to just do its own thing and ignore a lot of the details from other films. There could have been plenty of chances to pay homage to the originals but I feel like all these chances were missed and it all just got a bit self absorbed. On a second watch of Prometheus, I saw it in a different light and other than a couple of doofus characters at the start, found a new appreciation for it. The same can’t be said for Covenant. On a second watch, my thoughts remained the same. The film was riddled with doofus characters which made me feel no sense of support for them. The alien itself doesn’t create enough tension for my taste in alien films, neither did David. So I didn’t feel any kind of emotion for them either. I just didn’t care about any of it. The film isn’t even fun or silly, which makes it the most disappointing instalment in the alien series for me personally. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Aze D At this point I don't know why I keep watching any Aliens movie or show after the original Aliens Sequel. David kills the engineers homeworld/colony/outpost with a bio weapon because...ummmm...reasons? Maybe because an engineer killed his "father" for no reason in Promethus? and now plays god because....reasons? I can get past the bad decisions of the crew because the movie ends if they just continue their assigned mission or if they follow a quarantine protocol to leave the landing team on the planet. It is still just bad decision after bad decision. The evil robot is now the horror and the actual alien is a barley used plot device. Again, the poor universe building causes more questions. I think Ridley Scott has some meta concept about humanity but I don't get it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Jordan R Honestly, as a standalone movie it's weak. As a Prometheus sequel and a Ridley Scott film it is disappointing. It's watchable when David (Michael Fassbender) is on screen. All CGI looks the same to me since 2008 so I can't comment on that. However, every other character on screen makes the most braindead decisions at every turn possible. It was so bad that I just started looking at David as the protagonist and every human as a vehicle for a faux-Alien gore session. The writing was definitely this film's downfall. Man... what a waste of a good franchise. Most likely some Hollywood corporate money-hungry producers were involved with the creative process. Or Ridley Scott is getting old. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Mark K I enjoyed this one a lot - but if they don't bridge the ending of this one to Alien, and I don't think they are going to, it will be disappointing. I want to know what happens to this ship/crew and how we got the space jockey in Alien. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review And S Unwatchable. Awful. Ridley Scott milks old themes from suckers. Did I say, “Awful” yet? As I read in the review by another, “I was was very quickly rooting for the aliens.” And hoping they’d be quick about it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Jas J Terrible movie and I never write movie reviews so this says alot. Had so much potential but all i found myself to be was annoyed and irritable. The characters even though “known” to be smart and capable (theyre space travelers so you would think they have common sense) made idiotic choices throughout the whole film. It got to the point where I was rooting for the aliens lolll, maybe that was the point of the movie. Who knows. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
