I enjoyed this too. I think it tries too hard to be poignant and deep but it was pretty damn good.

It's based on a book trilogy and covers the first part of the trilogy.. There's a lot of differences between the book and a movie, but I actually like the movie a lot more.

Covenant gets hate because it suffers for the presence of its licensed characters, but if you look past that, its a really compelling sci-fi thriller. Its tense, beautiful, haunting. Its atmosphere is really similar to Arrival, and while I would not put it remotely on the level with that films narrative, there are a ton of interesting ideas this film explores.

This was definitely a film I was extremely underwhelmed by on my initial viewing, pretty much mirroring the sentiments that anyone on the internet whos seen it once felt; however, I ended up watching it a second time because my father was interested and I appreciated it much more and eventually even watched it a third time by myself.

If you like sci-fi you might get something from it despite its reputation as a disappointing entry into its franchise. Its also the only suggestion so far you havent seen

I heard the books were even more trippy/less coherent? (Not in a bad way, more like older David Lynch movies)

I'm not really seeing the similarities between Covenant and Arrival beyond some suspenseful/haunting moments?
