  • Alien: Covenant is one of the strongest films in the Alien franchise in my opinion. Even though Ridley didn't go full Prometheus again with his second prequel, the throughline of David for the two movies is incredible. Love how mean and unrelenting this one is.

  • A colony ship stops mid journey to investigate a transmission from an unknown planet. What appears to be a closer, viable home for the new colony is revealed to contain the hostile outcomes of Alien experiments. Ridley Scott's expansion of Alien lore didn't hit the mark, but it swung hard for new and striking ideas.

Alien: Covenant Review
7/10

Alien: Covenant plays it safe by mashing together the best elements of previous Alien films, delivering a solid sci-fi horror/thriller in the process.
