"20th Century Fox" (that is, Fox from the Racist 1900s) . . .

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2017)

. . . brazenly Allegorizes its own monstrous Creation, Don Juan Rump, in ALIEN COVENANT. Michael Fassbender is cast as the Demonic David, Hell-Bent upon destroying Human Kind, and he has Rump down to a Tee. Pretending to be a Friend of the Common Man, this "synthetic" Humanoid--David--turns out to be a Destroyer of Planets. Many commentators have classed Rump with HOWARD THE DUCK and the star of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE as an unworldly creature not of our Beloved Mother Earth. Just as the Good Ships Prometheus and Covenant were created to feed David's Nefarious Passion Play, Fox "News" birthed Rump to end Human Civilization as We Have Known It. ALIEN COVENANT gloats over the fact that resistance to David OR Rump is totally futile. You could smelt down either one of them in a vat of molten metal like Boris Karloff as FRANKENSTEIN or Arnold Schwarzenegger as TERMINATOR, but they'd each disappear with smirks on their faces in the knowledge that they have curtailed the possibility for World Peace of Mind from Now until Eternity.
