4 english reviews of Alien։ Covenant (2017)

1. Roger Ebert

10 / 10

This is one of Scott’s best-directed movies and one of his most entertaining overall, partly because he’s working in a genre, the science fiction spectacle, that he does better than anyone since Stanley Kubrick, but also because he seems to be approaching it almost entirely in terms of visceral impact and emotion—as symphony of fire and blood, poetry and schlock.

2. The Film Stage

7.5 / 10

Alien: Covenant‘s bargain is good enough: come for the Fassbenders, stay for the nihilism and grotesquerie, and emerge with at least a few questions and curiosities on your mind.

7 / 10

When its aims are ambitious, it’s easy to overlook some of the problems.

6 / 10

Aggressively bloody and high of bodycount... but rarely intimidating

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Based on what I had read before seeing the film, I had extremely low expectations, which actually left me pleasantly surprised by the movie. I choose to ignore all the poor aspects of the film and give it a weak 6 out of 10.
