Yeah, I could have spent a lot more time in that movie just watching them wander around that giant, oddly quiet forest. Like I said there were some issues with it, but no more than the other movies that make up my head canon for Alien films.
I'd rate them like this:
1A Aliens
1B Alien
2 Prometheus
3 Covenant
In my head 3 was Ripleys fever dream, and Resurrection and the Alien vs Predator series were just big-budget fan-films.
