Alien Covenant: Common Sense Goes for a Toss
I normally don't post reviews for movies, but a movie I recently watched made me come up with a criticism. To start with, I like Ridley Scott and the way how he goes about making movies. Warning! Spoilers ahead! Covenant is a star ship with more than 2000 people on board on the way to colonize a habitable planet. The people are all in hibernation. The main crew is woken up by a neutrino storm which kills one of them. The ship stops for repairs. At this point they receive transmissions from a nearby previously unknown planet calling for help. The captain of the star ship's crew contemplates about visiting the planet as their actual destination is quite far away. Moreover, the newly discovered planet seems similar to Earth. Well! All smooth sailing so far! How stupid can you be? #1 The captain asks the crew members about their opinion. Most of them don't want to go back to hibernation and choose to visit the new planet. I expected the captain to say something on the lines...
