You end up with three different films - a first act like a modern Alien which I loved, a middle act of Prometheus style philosophizing that feels like more Westworld, then a last act of two shoe-horned in action scenes homaging Aliens and Alien 3 respectively. You can almost hear Ridley at a writing meeting saying "this'll be cool, and this, and this, and then this" and the writer saying "uh, is this for the same film or later in the series?" "Yeah just cram it all in, make it happen". Its like switching from 1977 George Lucas to 1999 Lucas. Then Ridley starts to indulge in his convoluted ideas about creation and destruction. As it progresses, this feeling continues - thankfully, a solid sci-fi film that got it right. It felt sharp, atmospheric, there are interesting character situations, emotive moments and infinitely better writing than we had in Prometheus. In the first 20 minutes I was so happy with Covenant. In some ways its excellent, but as an Alien film its infuriating Ultimately, what was intended as a peaceful exploratory mission, will soon turn into a desperate rescue operation deep into the cold infinite space. The unsuspecting members of Covenant will have to cope with biological foes, beyond human comprehension. Instead, a rogue transmission will entice the crew to a nearby habitable small planet which resembles The Earth.
The crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.Īlmost eleven years after the futile and disastrous expedition on the distant moon LV-223, the deep-space colonisation vessel Covenant equipped with more than 2,000 colonists in cryogenic hibernation, sets a course for the remote planet Origae-6 with the intention to build a new world.
