What kind of watch this is
Ridley Scott directs this 122-minute horror sci-fi entry. The crew of the Covenant ship finds a planet that looks like a postcard but feels like a trap. It is a film about how quickly paradise turns into a zoo where you are the exhibit. Michael Fassbender is in the cast, and the movie asks if the monster or the machine is the real threat. The pacing is deliberate, letting the dread settle before the violence breaks. It is a dense, atmospheric experience that rewards patience.
What the critics said
Critics were polite but cautious. Rotten Tomatoes reports a 65% approval rating as of October 2024, while Metacritic sits at 65 out of 100 as of April 2025. That is the language of "generally favorable," which is a way of saying "fine, if you like the genre." The Rotten Tomatoes consensus notes it delivers "satisfying round of close-quarters deep-space terror," even if it doesn't take the saga in any new directions. Peter Bradshaw called it a "greatest-hits compilation" of the franchise's freaky moments. Geoffrey McNab argued the film isn't sure of its own identity, a critique that lands harder when you realize the script is indeed portentous.
How it did with audiences
It cost $97 million and took in $241 million worldwide, a figure that counts as a solid year in most businesses and a soft landing in Hollywood. Audiences in the United States handed over $74 million of that sum. On TMDB, users rate it 6.2 out of 10. IMDb users gave it a weighted average of 6.4/10 as of February 2026. The numbers suggest people went to see it, watched it, and then quietly shrugged.
What came next for the cast
Fassbender moved from Inglourious Basterds and X-Men: Days of Future Past to Dark Phoenix, The Killer, and Black Bag. Waterston joined the Fantastic Beasts franchise after Steve Jobs, returning for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Crudup shifted from Watchmen and Spotlight toward The Morning Show. McBride went from Tropic Thunder to The Righteous Gemstones. These careers did not follow a single script. The credits just list what happened next.
