Alien Covenant
Pros:
- Prologue. Justifies Guy Pearce in old man make-up from Prometheus
- The score
- I actually like the drama between the characters: Oram being insecure captain, tension between him and Daniels, Tennessee, Ricks and Upworth arguing aboard Covenant etc.
- David and every scene with him and Walter. The best villain (apart from the creature itself, of course) the series has given us. Special mention must go to Fasbender v Fassbender scene
- Recontextualisation of Alien as an material embodiment of deeply hidden sexual desires of a psycho android who wants to procreate badly. Pretty Giger-esque if you ask me
- The ending ("Don't let the bedbugs bite")
Cons:
- Mostly unmemorable cast with weak protagonist
- Disposable Aliens. Le sigh
- While I don't hate the third act it's the weakest part of the movie devoid of tension and feels pretty obligatory. Wished that time was rather spent on more philosophical shenanigans
