Almost eleven years after the futile
and disastrous expedition on the distant moon LV-223, the deep-space colonization
vessel Covenant equipped with more than 2,000 colonists in cryogenic
hibernation, sets a course for the remote planet Origae-6 with the intention to
build a new world. Instead, a rogue transmission will entice the crew to a
nearby habitable small planet, which resembles The Earth. The unsuspecting
members of Covenant will have to cope with biological foes, beyond human
comprehension. Ultimately, what was intended, as a peaceful exploratory mission
will soon turn into a desperate rescue operation deep into the cold infinite
space. Written by Nick Riganas

Having been a fan of the original ALIEN film I have been fascinated
by a few other films that have told alternative storylines like ALIEN vs.
PREDATOR, and PROMETHEUS. Each of these film have touched on how the Alien was
created or its origins, but in each case rather than making things clear it
made them even more confusing. So comes along ALIEN: COVENANT. My hopes for
this film would have been that it would give more understanding of why and how
the ALIEN exists so I was excited to watch. Upon viewing the film I found that
answers were given, but not to the questions I had. That said I felt the film adequately
told the story it had to share piecing parts from the PROMETHUES film in to
give it a deeper story and also a plot twist. So for ALIEN:
COVENANT I give it 3 ½ stars out of 5.
