" it's a real shame that we abandoned all of our space colonies and moved all our people onto this city one city on this one planet and abandoned all of our research into the black goo antidote I guess we're extinct now senpai"

No, it was worse. It kept all the retarded shit and made that worse, but it also cut down on the interesting stuff that Prometheus introduced.

Yeah it was pretty awful
The only thing I genuinely liked about it was the scenes between the two androids and especially the drama about Ozymandias but that's just because I'm a Watchmen fag
Literally would have been kino if it were the two androids and nothing else for the entire movie

I just watched it since there is finally a camrip available. Glad I waited, this movie is retarded both in plot and in theme

I liked it a lot. The Fassbinder robot story was great until the completely predictable twist at the end. I'd give it an enjoyable 6/10.

My main problem (among others) has to do with exactly the pic you posted. The xenos in this film were completely trivial and not-at-all formidable. In Alien and Aliens, and even the other less-liked sequels, the Aliens always seemed like a mysterious force to be reckoned with. Not much was known about them, and their power was hard as fuck to deal with. The idea of their blood melting through the hull of your ship and causing explosive decompression was scary in and of itself. But not in Alien: Covenant. In this one, the neomorphs were far scarier than the xenos. Everything from the first crew member getting infected by the black dust up to when David rescues the crew, was tense as fuck and well done. But when the black xenomorphs show up (and let's face it, they were only in the movie to sell tickets) they're easily dealt with by Mary Sue and Billy Bob via the use of a bullshit slow-as-fuck crane. The same goes for the second xenomorph in the ship. What used to take Ripley an entire 2+ hour film to deal with, is easily dealt with in two 20-minute sequences tacked onto the end of this flick. I don't know what Ridley was thinking.
