Finally got round to watching Alien: Covenant. Not as bad as I imagined, but not well edited or directed. Strange unlinked scenes such as the couple getting jiggy in the shower just so we can have a gory death and a bit of chest-without-vest. The whole thing felt as though Ridley Scott had sat around after Prometheus wondering where to take the story and then 'ooh, ooh, I know!' he suddenly decided to make David a baddy. Throughout Prometheus Fassbender had portrayed David as a good robot Bishop type character, so it was odd to have him as an bad robot Ash type character.
