"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." 

"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." 

"There's plenty to appreciate about this followup to 'Prometheus', but little that fans of the series haven't seen before." 

"'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." 

"Much like 'The Force Awakens' did with the first 'Star Wars', 'Covenant' succeeds by recreating what it feels like to watch 'Alien'." 

"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)" 

"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)" 

"It’s a long, flat, no-frills journey which struggles to engage despite its many bloody shocks."
