The best of the series

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2017)

Most people consider the original, Alien, from 1979 the best. This would be natural, since the original almost always is the best. Speaking from the view of intense thrills, they would be right.
However, when seen in a broader, and more philosophical light, trying to understand the philosophical depths of the franchise, there can, IMHO, not be any doubt that Alien: Covenant is the deepest, and best of them all.
In Alien: Covenant we are presented a much deeper, through-thought ideology, both philsophical and religious. One can even use it to understand more obscure parts of the Bible, though I wouldn't recommend that as such.
The search for deity among humankind is incredible, and is needed to understand this franchise, just as the story of Frankenstein is.
Enjoy!
