Alien: Covenant Ratings & Reviews
- Splitvision898 september 2025This is the most idiotic crew out of any of the alien movies. They just make the worst decision at every turn. Also has an incredibly predictable ending
- El Jefe17 augustus 2025Prometheus better.... But HUGE revelations in this movie tok. Big ideas, high production values, good acting, another great soundtrack. Hopefully we can still find out one day how it all goes back to the Space Jockey.
- 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.
- 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.
- victor965116 februari 2026Didn’t think I’d like it better than Prometheus!
- Paul Walsh13 februari 2026A few interesting ideas mixed in with sloppy storytelling. I didn't hate it but the potential far outweighed the final product.
- dexterhipp17 juli 2025Nope this movie was so boring
- The Gutter Monkey17 oktober 2024A great follow-up to Prometheus, with a clever, synthetic twist.
- Harish Cousal27 december 2025A stylish blend of horror and creation myth. Great atmosphere, though uneven choices soften impact
- Brad.Plex.13 oktober 2024Fans of Prometheus hoping for a better installment are left disappointed as Covenant, once again, tries to course-correct and ends up insulting their supporters. The only question from the previous film that is truly answered is, "Yes, it CAN get worse"
- 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
- Callum19 december 2025⭐⭐⭐½ – Alien: Covenant — Effective Horror, Uneasy Continuation Alien: Covenant is a solid entry in the franchise — not a return to the towering heights of Alien or Aliens, but comfortably stronger than Alien³ or Alien Resurrection. It sits in that middle ground where enjoyment comes less from innovation and more from execution. One of the more frustrating aspects is how it handles the ideas introduced in Prometheus. There were some genuinely interesting philosophical threads there, and Covenant largely sidesteps or simplifies them in favour of more traditional horror beats. That may bother some more than others; personally, I can live with it, even if it feels like a missed opportunity. Where the film does succeed is in atmosphere and tension. Ridley Scott’s return behind the camera is obvious — the pacing, framing, and sense of dread feel far more controlled than in some of the later sequels. The horror leans into discomfort and revulsion rather than bombast, and when it wants to be scary, it mostly delivers. The alien redesigns aren’t especially ambitious, but they don’t need to be. They’re vicious, unpleasant, and effective — roaring, writhing reminders of why this creature remains one of cinema’s great monsters. The film may not expand the mythology in a satisfying way, but it understands the primal fear at the heart of the series. Overall, Alien: Covenant is an enjoyable watch — flawed, divisive, but far from a misfire. It doesn’t redefine the franchise, but it proves there’s still life (and horror) left in it. 🥃 Pairing: A smoky whisky with a sharp finish — familiar, slightly bitter, and best appreciated if you already know the flavour profile going in.
- 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.
- jaredmelvin938 december 2025Good movie.
