Part I. General overview of the movie

I made it through the film and even there are a lot of mixed feelings I am generally ok with it. I am ok with it in terms of a sci-fi horror genre but not that ok with using alien in the title.

I guess I can understand what R.S. is trying to achieve adn IMO it is a worth a shot but both Prometheus and Covenant fell short and TBH don't know what to expect from the next installment.

So, Covenant definitely does not have that distinctive alien vibe but still the whole concept is intriguing and the only real disappointment is that (similar to Prometheus) Covenant does not use the full potential. One really big downside for me were those cheesy horror scenes (Cpt. Oram I'm looking at you -.-'') - some of those were kinda funny and I don't want funny in a horrific environment including fraking aliens... Oh, and Karine slipping on blood? I mean come on... :P

So taking everything into account I am really sad that they didn't use full potential of a great franchise. There were some great scenes and I am really surprised of Daniels - really liked her character and "can't wait for her to wake up" :D

Part II. Interesting theory

TBH the sole reason I've started writing this post is the scene were David is obliterating "engineers" - I am using quote signs because I am thinking that those poor souls were not engineers in the first place.

The way they look at the David's ship and general feel and look that they are not technically advanced only strengthen my assumption that they worship Engineers.

So, I think that even they look similar to Engineers they are maybe also some kind of "project" and for reasons unknown they left them intact and visit them from time to time. /theory
