Too many idiotic scenarios throughout the entire movie. Extremely predictable, even the plot twist at the end was. Mistake going to see this movie.

This furthered the narrative well from Prometheus in the ever elusive chase for the creators and the xenomorph origin.

I fell asleep throughout the entire movie. Incredibly boring and they don't explain what is happening half the time. Wish I would have never seen this

It was nice seeing the "Alien" franchise but it didn't answer the questions of its previous film "Prometheus". This film could've been done better.

Alien Covenant suffers from an unnecessary final act that puts a bad taste in your mouth after seeing a great rest of the movie.

First half of the movie is almost identical to Prometheus. Horrible, lazy, CGI xenomorphs. This film was clearly heavily edited, throwing off the pacing and making character arcs short and confusing. James Franco is on screen for about 30 total seconds, even his scene from the trailer was cut. Hard to believe Ridley Scott is happy with the final product, i know I'm not.

Everything that was interesting and frustrating about Prometheus is present in spades in Alien: Covenant. I really wanted to like this movie, but there is too much religious nonsense and too many blatantly stupid things being done by characters who should know better.

Cliche space horror but the "real" story I found intriguing. Species, Giants, tries to create superior species, humans, fails so attempts to destroy humans. Humans fight back and win. Cycle starts over with humans creating David. Humans tries to create better David with Walter. Fails and David destroys humans. Cycle begins over with David attempting to create a superior species. The old paradox of trying to create perfection when the creator is not perfect told in a space horror plot.

This film is at once sumptuous with thrills and surplus to requirements. Let sleeping aliens lie.

This new “Alien” prequel is mostly a gore fest, which may be great news for gluttons of the genre.
