I have read so many raving reviews of Ridley Scott's latest addition to the origin stories of the popular Alien franchise, Alien: Covenant. I was excited to see the film because I really wasn't a huge fan of the previous instalment, Prometheus. I had high hopes that this film would be just as thrilling as the original movies but unfortunately, Alien: Covenant was a huge let down for me in more ways than one.
Alien: Covenant introduces us to the crew of colonisation vessel The Covenant. After a catastrophic accident in space, killing the Captain and some of the other passengers, the crew are forced to wake up early and fix the damage caused. When a rogue transmission is received, the crew discover it has come from a planet that seems ideal for human habitation. Shocked that they completely missed this perfect planet, they decide to land on it and explore where the transmission originated from, however, they soon discover a sinister secret on the surface that means life or death for the crew.
