Alien: Covenant (2017)



The relationships and characters in the iconic Alien (1979) were key to the story and success of the film and therefore can never be recreated or bettered. Danny Mcbride is the stand out for me, he is comedic, just in more subtle manner than usual,the other characters are given lots of background without any real bite. I enjoyed it but it feels unnecessary really, i don't need to know the origin of a Xenomorph who stars in a film that cannot be improved upon, it neither worsens or adds to your experience of the original. It looks good and there are some stunning scenes and set-ups and i was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Enjoyable but not needed.


Like This Watch These: Alien (1979) Incredible Aliens (1986) One of the all time greatest sequels, Life (2017) Massively influenced by the series with a clean classic atmosphere.
