Alien Covenant Review

Alien: Covenant is a 2017 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, and written by John Logan and Dante Harper, with a story by Michael Green and Jack Paglen. The film is a sequel to the 2012 film Prometheus, the second installment in the Alien prequel series and the sixth installment overall in the Alien film series, as well as the third directed by Scott. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demián Bichir. It follows a crew of a colony ship that lands on an uncharted planet and makes a terrifying discovery.

Alien: Covenant premiered in London on May 4, 2017, and was released on May 12, 2017, in the United Kingdom and May 19 in the United States, twenty years after release of Alien: Resurrection (1997).[5] The film received generally positive reviews from critics but received polarizing reviews from audiences, with critics praising Fassbender's dual performance and a return to form for both director Ridley Scott and the franchise,[6][7] but underperformed at the domestic box office[8] and grossed a total of $232.5 million against a production budget of $97 million.[4]

In a prologue, business magnate Peter Weyland speaks with his newly activated android, who chooses the name "David" after looking at a replica of Michelangelo's statue of David. Weyland tells David that one day they will search for mankind's creator together. David comments on his unlimited lifespan as compared to his creator's limited one.

In 2104, 11 years after the incident on LV-223, the colonization ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with two thousand colonists and over a thousand human embryos aboard. The ship is monitored by Walter, a newer synthetic physically resembling the earlier David model, albeit with some modifications. A stellar neutrino burst damages the ship, killing some of the colonists. Walter orders the ship's computer to wake the crew from stasis, but the ship's captain, Jake Branson, dies when his stasis pod malfunctions, burning him while he's still asleep. While repairing the ship, the crew picks up a radio transmission from a nearby unknown planet, dubbed by navigator Ricks as "planet number 4".[9] Against the objections of Daniels (Branson's widow), the new captain Oram decides to investigate.
