20 Predictions For 2017's Rotten Tomatoes Scores

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Though it succumbs to many of Prometheus' excesses, Alien: Covenant benefits from Michael Fassbender's mesmerising dual performance and a return to the visceral, suspense-driven action of the franchise's better installments."

After Prometheus looked like a sure masterpiece and ended up being merely good and certainly very flawed, it's fair to be a little guarded about this one, especially as that first trailer seemed to play up to some slasher movie tropes.

Still, Fassbender's going to run away with this one, and the fact we'll actually get to see Xenomorphs on screen is sure to make it plenty more crowd-pleasing than Prometheus, even if the plot soils itself in the third act again.
