A huge improvement over PROMETHEUS, and a film that forgives / retroactively gives purpose to its prequel, COVENANT is a majestically shot mash of almost every Alien movie that's come before it, but it only works because it clarifies that these new films are NOT really Alien movies... Prometheus was about the creation of horror, and Covenant is about the horror of creation, and a much better film for that. Scott and co are smart to realize that Fassbender — who gives both of the best performances you'll see in a blockbuster this year — is much scarier than the xenomorphs (or whatever) can ever be at this point, and the story embraces that. As a result, this stuff with…
One of the angriest films to hit theatres in recent memory, Alien: Covenant—Ridley Scott’s prequel-sequel to his sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien—is a deeply troubling work of nihilistic philosophizing and gruesome schlock terror. That anger ostensibly stemming from the polarizing reception to Prometheus, Scott’s bold (if a little misguided) attempt at transforming a beloved perfect organism genre classic into an outlet for his own pretentious musings on the act of creation, an area in which Scott posits that the personal, scientific, mythic and divine all coalesce. Looking back now, it’s easier to accept Prometheus as its own contained space story of human optimism being hilariously crushed by God’s random cruelty, but at the time, and even now, many were hugely disappointed…

Some random bits and pieces:
- First 45 minutes, leading up to the attack in the fields, is staggering. A sight and sound show of texture and flair, taking its sweet time in the evocation of production design, thematic foundations, character development, and special effects wizardry. It felt like Ridley dug up B-Roll from the original Alien; measured, dazzling, mysterious.
- But whenever Scott has to *do* things (ie: ramp up structure, build a climax, construct further depths in the middle section) is when Covenant starts to falter; as monsters and doubles and cardboard types start splurting and dying, I lost interest. The careful attention to sound and image is forgotten.
- Cast is stellar. Fassbender is as great as you've heard. Katherine Waterston is a star.
- The ending is the darkest shit but oh my it works.
- If anything else, let's talk about the medical-room scene. Grosstastic!
you fuck boys are over reading the theme of this, ridley scott is literally just trying to tell us that michael fassbender is god? get over yourselves
