	Author	Review
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"An interstellar version of 'Friday the 13th', with a respectable ensemble of actors as the camp counselors and various fanged slimeballs filling in for Jason Voorhees."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A franchise renewed. (...) The drama flows gorgeously and, unlike in many other franchises in which entries keep getting longer every time out, this one is served up without an ounce of fat. It provides all the tension and action the mainstream audience could want, along with a good deal more."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"There's plenty to appreciate about this followup to 'Prometheus', but little that fans of the series haven't seen before."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Alien: Covenant' is (...) more of the same, which is both a relief to fans and a letdown to those hoping it might pave new ground."	NEU
United States	Kevin P. Sullivan Entertainment Weekly	"Much like 'The Force Awakens' did with the first 'Star Wars', 'Covenant' succeeds by recreating what it feels like to watch 'Alien'."	POS
United States	Edward Douglas New York Daily News	"Further proving his mastery of creating tension and thrills, Scott has effectively created a satisfying hybrid of 'Alien', 'Prometheus' and even James Cameron's 'Aliens'. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Feels all too familiar (...) The film is very capably made, with forceful, potent performances from Waterston and Fassbender. (...) it’s a greatest-hits compilation of the other Alien films’ freaky moments (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"It’s a long, flat, no-frills journey which struggles to engage despite its many bloody shocks."	NEU
