When the crew of the colony ship Covenant intercept a distress signal
from an
unmapped planet, they discover that said planet could actually
have a better habitat and ecosystem than the one they were aiming for.
The captain makes the decision to change route, but when they land, they quickly discover they shouldn't have come in the first
place.
Alien: Covenant has many stumbles on its way, it has a lot of fat
that could have been cut out or been better written, in some ways it
could be said it is a frustrating film, but what it comes down to is
the fact that no matter how disconnected I felt at times, the tension
always and constantly delivers and Ridley Scott gives proof of his mastery at
it. This is a solid
Alien film, with lots of glorious suspense and
scare mixed with a surprisingly excellent attempt at world and
mythology building.
