Yesterday we went to the moives again - this time to Donauplex with a visit to Burgerista for dinner - and we watched Alien Covenant.
The sequel to Prometheus tells the story of the crew of the colony ship Covenant, who are woken up from hiberation after an accident and then decide to deviate from their course and check out a nearby planet - which all sound awfully familiar.
After that we finally are told what happened after the end of the last movie and it not all what it seems to be ... and then the waiting for the final installment of the new Alien trilogy begins.
The story in the first half of the movie is so far-fetched, that once you reach the good part of the movie you don't really can enjoy it over all the plot holes that happened until then.
And also that James Franco is in the movie can be quickly overlooked, so the movie really burned a B-actor (literally) for no good reason at all. The rest of the cast is rather mediocre and the female lead always has the expression that you want to hold and hug her - and she's the one calling the shots! Only Michael Fassbender is a really cool actor who manages to capture the duality in playing the two androids David and Walter in a really disturbing way (and I mean that in a positive way).
Conclusion: take your brain out, accept the story - then this movie is good fun, otherwise you'll leave the movie theatre with a headache and too many unanswered questions
