Ressurection is still an unforgivable mess...and is the worst film in the franchise hands down...

Covenant is an effing disaster whether you're an Alien fan or not, and I hate to say it, but if I wasn't a completist I wouldn't touch that creature pack or Neomorph with a barge pole. They look like McDonald's toys in the pics, and in the film they're slick in every sense.

I'd just like to state that even the average Alien fan should swerve Covenant. Ridley doesn't give a flying fcuk about you or your time and money.

EDIT - Re. Neomorph. By slick in terms of CGI I mean icky and a visual mess when they're smaller.

Y'all are crazy. Covenant was disappointing but not that bad.

Admittedly, I've not seen Resurrection. But Alien 3 is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I would prefer to live the rest of my life forgetting it happened and never watching it again. Blomkamp's Alien 5 would be a welcome change to canon, wiping that movie away and burying it 10 feet under.

Also, I thought the characters in Covenant were one of the better parts of the movie. Certainly better than Prometheus's offerings.
