Biggest Swing

The film drops significantly when the crew makes inexplicably poor decisions on the planet surface, but recovers when Fassbender's David takes center stage

Alien: Covenant starts promisingly but suffers from character stupidity and predictable plotting, elevated primarily by Michael Fassbender's dual android performance. While it delivers impressive visuals and horror elements, it ultimately feels like a derivative retread that fails to fully satisfy either as philosophical sci-fi or pure Alien thrills.
