Alien is back on track...

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2017)

Anyone going into this thinking that they are going to see something that equals the original couple of films is deluding themselves. What they will see is a film that gets the Alien franchise back on the right track and recovers from the horrors that were 3 and Resurrection.
Scott has brought the series back to life for me. Prometheus seemed a little awkward to me but Covenant puts all that right and makes Prometheus a good subject and chapter in the story of the Alien and, now, the story of David. I like how it uses the theme that PKD was using through Bladerunner (Do Androids Dream....), the fact that true AI can probably be so much more than it's human creators.
Some great little nods to the origins of the series, classic Ridley Scott attention to detail and a welcome return for the Alien.
