This trailer doesn't look cheap to me, it looks like gritty European scifi. I know some of you expect more Hollywood polish, but I'm really happy with this direction. The best movies in the franchise are very low tech (Alien 3 is almost medieval).
I also don't think it looks cheap. However, I do think rather cheap tricks are being used e.g. shower scene. In fact, I would say it needs to be more gritty. It still feels cold, crisp and clinical in places. (Maybe the blue tinted filter is to blame) where it maybe shouldn't. Although Id draw a line at Alien 3 levels of grittiness which were just too dire and insufferable to keep me glued to the screen.
Rarely and barely a hair is out of place on the Covenant actors. Clothing seems neatly ironed and unstained. Makeup and complexion blemish-free. For David or lab scenes this works just like the Ash/lab scenes. But not for others.
Im being really picky now, but it somehow matters. And its not like Ridley isn't CAPABLE of delivering greatness, so minute attention to detail does kinda matter once a tight and gripping script has been successfully pulled off.
