I liked them all. I just love this franchise.

I always get downvoted for saying this but the med bay scene in Covenant, everything from the ship landing with the search party looking for Shaw up to David showing up with the flare, is absolute best thing we've gotten from of the Alien universe since Aliens.

The sense of dread, Jed Kurzel's incredible otherworldly, haunting score. It's a masterclass in ramping up the tension, the backburster, the visceral and brutal violence, just looking at those 15-20 minutes in a vaccum, it is absolute perfection.

Covenant is for real ones only and in like 5-10 years we're gonna see people turn around on it like they did with Prometheus. All the initial hate is from fanboys who don't know what they want from an Alien movie, so people who aren't as emotionally attached will start appreciating it for its unique qualities.
