Not quite as strong as the first two, but WAY better than Prometheus and Covenant

Good for you. There were some things I liked about Prometheus like the visuals, the music score, and the overall good acting from everyone involved (Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Charlie Theron, and Michael Fassbender giving stellar performances). And yes it had certain good philosophical ideas that are interesting in concept, but considering the movie had deleted scenes that could've fleshed them out, that's what made it all the more terrible the more I thought about it.

Covenant, however, was even worse than Prometheus because it took a huge dump on those ideas and tries way too hard to be a redux. Not to mention the CGI on the Xenomorphs wasn't that particularly good. Plus the characters made even more illogical decisions in order to further the story along with the narrative choices (like David the android being responsible for the creation of the Xenomorphs and killing off the Engineers). It's no wonder that movie under-performed.

Thanks. I know it's not fair that I didn't actually like Prometheus and Covenant as much as anyone else did, but when the same director of the original Alien wastes good ideas on bland dialogue and one-dimensional characters that make stupid illogical decisions, I consider that a turn off and that's coming from someone like me who actually thought Alien 3 was decent.
