Alien: Covenant - Prologue: Last Supper

...............................................................

This is actually a really good prequel, reveals almost nothing about the plot, builds suspense and horror, and gives you a connection to the characters. Actually, I wish all studios would make prologues instead of trailers. Prologues set up the story without spoiling anything. Anyway, with this cast and cinematography, the actual film might be a better entry in the Alien universe, better than Prometheus that is.

Ridley never smiles. The movie shows why, but I won't give away anything. Visually amazing, this is now the standard for Riddy now. Storyline did have a lot of twists that some were and others not so good. All in all a good story and visuals. Could've had a better ending, without giving anything away. It certainly is a niche market audience for these types of movies...don't watch while eating....but still decent.

An obvious nod to the biblical Last Supper-and a fitting addition to a film that portrays an alien race as "gods" who created humans, with a human-made android now playing god-this clip has several highlights. First, it introduces the crew of the Covenant, gathered together in one room, partying and bonding like a family. James Franco appears only briefly, while the focus rests mainly on the lead actress, Daniels. Second, the clip cleverly echoes the original Alien film, serving both as a distraction and as a heartfelt tribute to the classic that started it all.

In my Opinion, one of the worst films in the franchise. Not the worst. But it's made that list. Such a let down after the ending "Prometheus". That film left you with so many Questions and to much promise. This film squanders it all away. What a shame.
