So first off i should say, i'm bloody terrified of aliens. Greens ones, grey ones, white ones. If they look semi humanish, nope nope nope. Than what happens. THEY HAVE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A REAL ALIEN AND NO NO NO! Also i went in watching this without seeing prometheus, I would highly recommend watching prometheus first before watching covenant.
So i went into the theater expecting so many people, turns out i had the theater to my sell, score one for going in super early ' not really it was 10:30' So here i am with my cheeta blankie, my hair in a messy bun, popcorn and drink in my hands with a ton of candy all around me waiting for the movie to start.
I really liked this movie, it was super good. But i really, REALLY should have watched prometheus before i watched covenant. I was super confused on many things. but in the end i realized what was going on.
So let me just say this, it was pretty well crafted, i loved how when they landed you couldn't hear any noises.. nothing. How they figured out what was going on was great as well, what creeped me out was when he was standing with the human like alien, the white one. It was like they were the same thing... I'm not up for that, the alien at the end was perfect!
The ending made me sad and a little upset, i would like to have seen some hope for the future not demise.

Although the book was short, it was packed full of information about this new future world. The new world was so strange yet extensive. There were so many advancements in medicine and lifestyle. You don't need to drink, eat or sleep because you can live off small tablets. Scientists create and genetically modify children. The government has removed music, art and love from humanity. There was the issue that no action was taken within the book - it will probably be within the next book that the pace is picked up.
This future brings up so many discussion points and thoughts when reading. Are all these advancements moral? Is this the right thing to do? There's separation of men and women, as men treat women as an inferior species. This book just makes you think so much about what you actually want for the future.
This book also brings up so many questions plot wise. Some questions were answered by the end, such as who is the 'fairy girl' in the first chapters? Other questions, such as why is the Clock so important will hopefully be answered in future installments? I'm excited to read the next book to see how it evolves!
