Explains the origin of the aliens!

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2017)

Ridley Scott directs this Sci-fi horror, which is a sequel to Prometheus and prequel to the original film, that was made almost 40 years ago.
The plot sees the crew of a colony ship (Covenant), on their 7 year journey to inhabit a remote planet. They pick up a distress signal from a nearby, unknown planet which also turns out to be perfectly habitable and a virtual 'Garden of Eden',they decide to explore. Pretty soon they discover this beautiful paradise is dangerous, several crew members are horrifically killed. Now they need to escape from this horrifying and isolated world, fast!
The cinematography is amazing, the alien landscapes really sets the atmosphere perfectly. The level of gore is kept high and intense throughout the film. The performances are solid, particularly Michael Fassbender, who stole every scene with his portrayals of Walter and David synthetics.
David genetically engineered the alien from numerous experiments and his need to explore the meaning of life. Ultimately David has cultivated a mind of his own and no longer wants to be subservient to mankind.
This is a recommended, edge of your seat film with familiar Alien type gore moments.
