’Covenant has its own personality and rhythm, a remarkable achievement on its own considering how many Alien films have been made over almost four decades. And it touches on so many of the recurring obsessions in Scott’s long career (he turns 80 next year) that it feels like a summation of everything he’s about. The macho Ridley Scott, the unexpectedly tender Scott, and the maker of biblical epics, conspiracy thrillers, fables, and unabashed eye candy advertisements are all represented here.’

’This is one of Scott’s best-directed movies and one of his most entertaining overall, partly because he’s working in a genre, the scienc-fiction spectacle, that he does better than anyone since Stanley Kubrick, but also because he seems to be approaching it almost entirely in terms of visceral impact and emotion – as symphony of fire and blood, poetry and schlock.’

’It’s rare to see such a combination of technical mastery and wicked joy in a film by a director who’s been working as long as Scott. This is the third best Alien movie after the first two, but don’t be surprised if repeat viewings kick it up a notch.’

I like this comment "but don’t be surprised if repeat viewings kick it up a notch." ;)

I am now seeing and thinking about things I missed during my first viewing!

This is the name of the website, Ebert died in 2013 if I'm not mistaken.
