Alien: Covenant (Prometheus 2) A beautiful blood bath of Alien Horror

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2017)

Alien: Covenant (Prometheus 2): First thing first. This is a sequel-prequel. Prequel to the original Alien universe but sequel to the first prequel in the series Prometheus. So hence Prometheus 2. If you didn't like Prometheus's open ended, philosophical take on the Alien universe then there is a high chance you won't like this film. No this film doesn't answer questions left unanswered in the first one. It's not meant too. Part of the excitement is the questions the new films are bringing up. It's 3 story arc which adds up when the last of it comes out. Just like the it's predecessor it leaves with more questions but...we finally get the sense of where Davids, the android, purpose lies. We get more of a insight to the creators of life, though like previous film it teases not answers and why creation of new species must come about with the sacrifice of the other...or should it ?
Prometheus was beautiful thriller with snippets of Alien gore. Alien: Covenant is a beautiful blood bath of Alien horror galore.
Acting: 8/10 (Stand Outs: Michael Fassbender can't go wrong with him no need to explain him. The one that really stood apart was Danny McBride. First serious role breaking the stereo cast for his comedic takes in films).
Action: 10/10 (Cinematic beauty. An alien horror that has been crafted by DaVinci himself. Ridley Scott sticking to basics using Minimum CGI well executed production design and the blend of CGI with real Alien suits or animatronics was perfectly rendered).
Sound: 10/10 (Surround sound in DolbyAtmos was unbelievable. First experience of the horror genre in an immersive surround sound cinema. You literally feel the alien breathing around you, moving around the cinema speakers).
Story: 6/10 (From stand alone point it's pretty basic film. Crew ship detoured, need to escape, survival of the fittest etc. But from the grand universe scheme of things and adding to the expanded universe it was pretty good).
Feels/Nostalgic: 5/10 (When making the modern take of a classic you need nostalgia. Weren't any heart throbbing tear drop moments nor linkage to previous films that made me fanboy, besides the aliens).
Final rating: 7.8/10
