Alien: Covenant - 15 Blunders That Ruined The Film

3. Alien Vision

When the second xenomorph bursts forth from Sergeant Lope and is set loose on the Covenant's escape ship, Ridley Scott makes one of his worst directorial decisions in the entire movie, by occasionally cutting to "xeno-vision", intended to be an approximation of what the xenomorph is seeing.

The vision mostly resembles human eyesight, but has a water-like haze over the top, not unlike what a human suffering with eye "floaters" might see. It was most likely a nod to the Predator franchise, which has given us the iconic heat vision perspective ever since the first movie, but here?

It felt like a cheap, amateur trick that a veteran filmmaker like Scott should've been caught nowhere near.
