Alien: Covenant (2017)
Directed by Ridley
Scott this film stars Micael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy
Crudup and Danny McBride. A colonisation ship hit by a solar flare
picks up a strange signal coming from an uncharted planet.
Grafting Doctor Moreau
on to the Alien franchise provides a twist to keep things some what
fresh but otherwise the film sticks a bit too closely to familiar
franchise elements. The Alien prequels have always promised to
deliver on expanding the lore of the universe and delve into some
deeper sci-fi themes but much like Prometheus (2012) I think this
film falls short on delivering on those promises. No doubt this is an
entertaining watch but a bit too much of a safe entry into the
franchise in my opinion.
3/5
