Where to Watch Alien: Covenant
- Zokkiie31 maart 2026I was disappointed when leaving the cinema after watching it the first time, and I’ve only grown to hate it since. The direction they took the story in, along with some of the choices, were a gigantic mistake—especially that weird “parent trap” angle with the androids. It just feels awkward and out of place rather than clever or meaningful. I don’t mind the cast, they did a solid job with what they were given. Visually it’s strong, and there are a few moments of real tension. But the characters make frustratingly dumb decisions, and it over-explains things that were better left mysterious. It’s not terrible, but it really misses the mark and loses what made the earlier films so good.
- mdediego14 maart 2026Alien: Covenant feels like an unfinished work—a film that could have reached a wider audience, given that it reintroduced the Xenomorph and was intended to be the direct prequel to Alien. Instead, it fails to satisfy true Alien fans and doesn't manage to attract non-core viewers. I suspect Scott had to contend with budget cuts and made the most of what he had, but it still feels like a missed opportunity.
- cultfilmliker21 augustus 2025Executive Producer Stanley Kubrick Feels a lot like this was making up to the fans for Prometheus. I’m fine with it! Fun opening! I get Billy Crudup and Guy Pearce mixed up in my head so the beginning of this was very confusing for a moment! Interesting to have Doctor Manhattan in a film where Magneto quotes Ozymandias Loved Danny McBride. Katherine Waterston looked weird but was good! Weirdly cheesy chestburster scene? Loved the lore tho! And I LOVED the classic horror beats esp the end
- CharlotteCOSMIC23 juli 2025Watched at the cinema, and totally worth it! Another great sci-fi action with intense thriller scenes. Very interesting without trying to explain about the planet etc before the juggernaut landed. This movie definitely has a more sinister aspect to it than most of the Alien movies, especially the finishing scene.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ11 maart 2026In the first 20 minutes I was so happy with Covenant. It felt sharp, atmospheric, there are interesting character situations, emotive moments and infinitely better writing than we had in Prometheus. As it progresses, this feeling continues - thankfully, a solid sci-fi film that got it right.
- naren shenoy3 maart 2026An improvement on its predecessor, Prometheus, but still suffers from some of the same issues as said movie. Mostly in the “why are these supposedly intelligent people doing stupid things” kind of way. I did enjoy both of these Alien prequels, perhaps more than most, if for nothing else getting some exposition. It is a shame we did not get to see David’s arc close and see how it officially would have connected to the Nostromo. Michael Fassbender was magnificent as always. And special shout out to Danny McBride, not playing Danny McBride in this movie. Worth a watch? Yes. Carve out time for it? Probably no.
- Carson Cardoza8 september 2025Was originally going to skip this one while watching them all in order but I actually can say I'm one of the few that thinks it's better than prometheus. I had a good time with both dont get me wrong but this one just had so much MORE to it and is a really fantastic sequel to prometheus. Also side note the ships in these movies are just so sweet man, they REALLY feel thought out and practical and lived in. Several times during the movie I felt the urge to go play space engineers after
