Honestly I'd have to sit down and re-watch Alien and Aliens as I haven't watched them in their entirety in years. I just don't remember thinking the crew was just so fucking bumbling retarded and at the time obviously it was new so the plot points weren't obvious.
The crew weren't bumbling idiots. It's part of what made the movies so good. They were doing what they were supposed to and the Alien was still wrecking their shit. I haven't seen the movie but the crew apparently lands on a uncharted world and don't put on their suits. That's fucking brain dead levels of stupid.
After thinking more about it, I think now the biggest issue I have is at the very LEAST the new android fucking knew what the old one did!! So either it was public knowledge so the crew should have known (so why the hell would they trust him) or two the new android was the only one but still didn't bother to inform the crew. Epic, epic face palm.

Looks like ass to me.
You were right, past Jay. The movie is ass.

Every "twist" was predictable and the Alien kills were pretty much recycles.

I loved the earlier Alien Movies with Sigourney Weaver.

I tried to watch Covenant on Sunday with my GF.

I can't even tell what it was, but I was incredibly bored and fell asleep towards the end. I think one of the main reasons was that I simply didn't care for any of the characters at all and if they live or die. Also as many of you mentioned they were just acting dumb. Weak movie.

Girlfriend stayed awake but didn't like it either.

Alien and aliens were excellent. No ridiculously bad character actions. Nobody laying on the floor waiting to die. It went like it should mostly. Even alien three was passable. These people were ducking retarded
The fact that Alien fans look back at Alien 3 and say "You know, it wasn't that bad" speaks volumes about how bad things have gotten in the franchise.

I don't think I would've been as pissed if they hadn't dumped her character like that.

Aliens, Predator, Terminator 2, all of them piss all over most of the movies released these days.

Finally saw this last night - dug it!

The hate towards how dumb the crew are doesn't fit, IMO. James Franco is the captain & leader of this outfit & he never makes it out of his capsule. Ridley Scott touches on Billy Crudup's lack of confidence as new leader via the girl giving him constant direction & encouragement. And this also isn't a crew of scientists & muscle.. This seems to be a very innocent operation trying to establish a new life in a world that randomly pops up on their radar as suitable - only to find hell!

We get a ton of answers in this installment amidst gnarly Alien hell! The main theme I'm getting in this prequel trilogy is, Creation. Whatever 'we' create ends up evolving over + destroying us. For humans, our own creation of technology & A.I. (David) is now trying to destroy us. David is the one responsible for anything & everything 'Alien' we've ever seen in cinema.

It's not just the dumb crew, it's the horrible cgi aliens, the absurd neutrino burst sequence, and the fact that they Alien 3'd the fuck out of Elizabeth Shaw.
