Alien: covenant has the same problem as Prometheus. It's extremely stupid, with insanely stupid characters, no dialogues or scenes worth watching. It's just an expensive b-movie trash, written by an idiot incapable of writing. It's the second movie in a row from Ridley Scott that sucks. I have completely lost faith in this director. He is obviously become unable to tell apart good screenplays from bad. After these two turds in a row I am afraid that Blade Runner 2 will be mindless trash too. Yep. I do respect Ridley Scott as a director, but if you watch his movies with Director's commentary tracks on, it quickly becomes clear what his strengths and weaknesses are. He's stupendous at constructing visual worlds and putting them on camera in a compelling way, and he's very good at working with actors. But he's weak on story logic. A lot of the time it seems like he doesn't quite grasp the logic of what's going on in his own movies. IMO, for this reason he works best when he has a really strong well-written script. Which he did, with Alien. But with Prometheus he had Lindelof, who is not exactly strong on plotting himself. So it was a case of the blind leading the blind.

Not that hard to understand.

I almost turned off Alien Covenant. It is almost as boring as "Alien 3." I made it to the end but no longer care what happens with these prequels. There was no suspense or artistry, just the feeling of been there done that, seen it all before. Bring on Blomkamp's Alien 5. Ripley, Newt and Hicks are characters fans care about. I guess that news doesn't get to you fast at all. They cancelled Blomkamp's sequel
