Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, members (Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup) of the colony ship Covenant discover what they think to be an uncharted paradise. While there, they meet David (Michael Fassbender), the synthetic survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. The mysterious world soon turns dark and dangerous when a hostile alien life-form forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.
A good film but it did leave you feeling a little deflated at the end. It had the gore and jumps of the Alien films but it left so much un-answered...what happened to Shaw ( it shows a little but not the full extent)...why did the Architects make us then want to destroy us, things I thought would get answered in this film but didn't. Fassbender was amazing as David and Walter and after doing some research I found that the next film is about him and Shaw and what happened and should answer all of our questions re what he did to her and what and who the Architects are. Daniels was great and had a Ripley vibe about her the rest of the crew were ok but not really that memorable. The Neomorphs were terrifying but the biggest geek moment for me was when we saw that first iconic egg pod and the first facehugger as we have come to know them, and then that moment that makes an Alien move an Alien movie....the chest explosion and the head of the FIRST ever Xenomorph emerging. The best moment for me was discovering the evolution and engineering of the Xenomorphs. The ending was a little Nostromo-esque and the shower scene was Alien and Aliens worthy of best Xenomorph moments. Overall was a good film would give it 4/5
