Alien: Covenant gets its due in latest Honest Trailer

Leading up to the release of Alien: Covenant, optimism was high that Ridley Scott had moved on from the convoluted Prometheus. That optimism quickly dissipated because the movie was a mixture of existential nonsense and idiots running around in space getting killed. This seems like a perfect movie for Screen Junkies to take a stab at with an Honest Trailer, and boy do they ever.

Note: There are spoilers ahead.

Alien: Covenant promised a return to the franchise’s sci-fi horror roots, and it partly does that when it doesn’t fall for the trap that doomed Prometheus. This is mostly because of the two-dimensional Covenant crew who are some of the biggest idiots in the world. Who aborts their missions because they heard John Denver song? Better yet, who doesn’t wear protection on a foreign planet, opens quarantined rooms with killer aliens inside and trusts a robot who clearly loves aliens? The crew of the Covenant, that’s who.
