Something reminded me of this movie recently and I couldn't for the life of me remember if I ever saw it.
Tracked down a copy, and I must have seen it at a friend's house, and we likely talked through it because I only remembered bits and pieces. That and I'm just getting old and movies are getting more and more similar too. Crank out those reboots!
Big glaring holes you say? Holy shit this makes Prometheus look coherent. At least in Prometheus they wore breathing apparatus for a while, when they got to the alien planet, then stupidly took it off. In Covenant everybody just happily marches right off the landing ship, no space suits, no masks/oxygen, they didn't even bring any with them. It's quite amazing how stupid the writing is in this one.
They have a throwaway line "did you follow quarantine protocol?" right as the shit is hitting the fan, and well after they've completely ignored every possible quarantine rule.
I don't expect any movie to be perfect, but I also don't think it's too much to ask for all of the characters to not be complete morons. At least with the original Alien, Ripley had some sense.
