"Alien: Covenant". With all the money they spent on this movie, it's a shame they didn't have any left over to pay a writer to create a coherent script where the "surprise" isn't obvious almost from the beginning. Oh, and the characters were so whiny, I rooted for the Aliens to just put them out of their misery.
I really enjoyed the Alien movies back when Sigourney Weaver was Ripley and ready to take them on...I kept waiting for the current characters to pull out their cell phones and call their moms to complain about the mean old aliens. I think they are just using Ridley Scott's name now. This was not as bad as Prometheus-which was truly horrible- but it's just not good.
I agree that Alien: Covenant lacks its sense of reveal. Especially with the Walter/David altercation. I think Ridley Scott's vision for this series may be going down hill. Alien and Aliens will always have a place in my film collection, but as a fan, I have been disappointed with the prequels taking place in the original universe.
