Alien: Covenant Spoliers
Honestly, I'll admit this is a valid story about a genicidal android who feels it is superior to it's biological creator, admires pure, perfect "murderous life forms", but as you can tell by my previous comments , it was a very dissatisfying story with too many squandered opportunities from the previous movie, just to show lambs marching to the slaughter without a hope of prevailing. I was obligated to see this, but I hate this kind of movie and the end was so ******* predictable. As soon as Walter appeared on the shuttle, I told my wife it was David, not because of anything I could see, but because I knew the intent of this story.
As far as stupidity, it's not that the characters were stupid. I blame the writers intent on vexing the viewing audience. It's as if standard procedure is to land on an alien planet and go roll in the grass without a care for pathogens or biological threats. And I don't blame the girl in the shuttle. If she was not firing her shotgun, she would of been dead anyway.
Now you see, this is why I don't pull it apart, already too many holes, just enjoy the imagery. If you start thinking about it any enjoyment simply evaporates as you envisage the cast sailing in a sea of stupidly. Particularly liked the shotgun sequence in the lander, "what could possibly go wrong" Favourite music, favourite drink and mute the film, gets a lot better
If Fox want so to do this type of Alien film, they could learn a lot from Alien Isolation, at least try to build tension and fear of the unknown not display everything as much as possible with captain obvious writing the script..
