![]() Who green-lit this expedition with these fools? (The rampant stupidity of these characters is downright insulting to the audience's intelligence.) I don't know what's going on with poor Ridley Scott. ![]() It's as if they had no training for their jobs whatsoever. I groaned every time a character said: "I'll be right back" as he or she walks off alone. They proceed to act like the Scooby-Do gang and/or the begging-to-be-victims characters from the "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" franchises by constantly splitting-up. The crew, especially the captain, appear to have the intelligence of turnips. So, the crew set down on this planet with no real plan, no protective gear, and just start winging it with, of course, disastrous results because this is an "Alien" movie. He gets some slight push-back about this flippant decision from his second-in-command, "Daniels" (Katherine Waterston who looks eerily like her father), but that seems to be the only complaint. ![]() Upon locating it and determining it can support human life, the captain (Billy Crudup) makes a spur of the moment decision to chuck aside all the planning that was put into their expedition to make this new planet their colonial destination. While making repairs, they pick-up a signal from a previously uncharted planet. The crew of the spaceship, Covenant, is transporting 2,000 colonists to a new solar system, but their journey is interrupted by a solar flash which damages the ship.
