We left off at the end of Prometheus with two key characters--one human and one android--going off to find answers to important questions that supersede the genre. I liked how Prometheus set that up. I liked the symbolism of the abortion scene and how they flipped the script in sci fi by casting the scientists as retards. Then with Covenant we're back to a basic idiotic monster movie and the key character who survived Prometheus was nowhere to be seen. Super annoying.
But that's been a problem with Ridley Scott's career. He'll make a fantastic movie, then you go see his next one and it sucks. He would be among my fave directors if he had consistency.
Follow Ups:
I thought Prometheus was not very good and that it and Covenant were essentially money grabs.
The story and monsters haven't evolved nearly as much as the tech to portray such has.

SOS with a young post-pubescent cast. The cute girl from 'Civil War' and 'Priscilla' was the female protagonist. I didn't expect much and I wasn't let down.
This might be the last one and maybe it should be. Forty-four years of the big bug is enough. I long for the engineers.
That's the WORSE type of that shit!
