For Review...

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2017)

After the nonsensical release of Prometheus , I like many of you was not really certain where this was all going to. Then Ridley Scott himself calls the movie a mistake , I assume a mistake that this movie was meant to correct.
I am not certain mistake was the right word. Maybe just unnecessary.
So in this film we rewind to the creation of The Android David. Who has pretext conversation on the subject of creation with Peter Weyland.Then we move to the year 2104 ten years after Elizabeth Shaw's adventure. We are aboard the colony ship covenant bound for a far away world to obviously colonize.
For reasons watching the film will reveal we decide after an accident and repairs to not resume our course but to check out a human transmission from a planet that has a better inhabatability prospect than our destination. OK. None of this is the stuff of legendary film really. However sometimes the simplest explanations are the best ones.
On this planet we find David. Elizabeth shaw is dead. It appears David has become quite insane and fashions him self in a God archetype. After killing a minor city filled with aliens he spends the next decade creating the Alien we all know and loathe. The crew of the covenant receives a high body count and a front row seat to the birth of this terror. All in all a perfectly fine explanation for the birth of this problem. Clear and direct , unlike prometheus.
A few things remain. The question arises is David ,Ash? How exactly do the Aliens establish their homeworld on Origae 6. What happened at the colony there?
I guess well just have to wait for that movie.
