Alien: Covenant (2017)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/



Alien: Covenant is set 10 years after the events of Prometheus - which in itself is about 30 some odd years before the events of Alien 1979.

Here is my take on this latest Alien movie:

1. It doesn't answer some of the questions left unanswered in Prometheus.
2. It doesn't bring much new to the Alien Franchise or give it much of a push in a new direction, even if this film is considered part of the Alien Prequel Series and not part of the Alien Film Series that started in 1979 with Alien.
3. Ridley Scott said there will be 2 more entries in this Alien Prequel Series before it comes full circle to connect with Alien 1979.
4. Some of the scenes in Alien: Covenant felt rehashed from the other 4 Alien films and from Prometheus.
5. The ending of Alien: Covenant left it open.

Will the next Alien film continue from where Covenant ended or it will jump many years again? Guess we won't know until 2019.

4/5

A Final Thought:

The USCSS Prometheus in Prometheus, The USCSS Covenant in Alien: Covenant, the USCSS Nostromo in Alien 1979, they are all owned by Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

Same corporation seen in the events before Prometheus in Alien Vs. Predator and Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem.

Now as I've said above, there are 30 odd years between the events of Prometheus and Alien 1979 with 2 more films to come showing more events during those 30 years.

Now you'd think by Alien 1979, people will know not to work for Weyland-Yutani.

If you work for Weyland-Yutani, you are signing your own death execution.
