Director #RidleyScott returns once again to his beloved #Alien franchise to go further in depth with the franchise's lore. After a mixed reception to his Alien prequel, #Promethus, Scott goes back to the prequel well to once again try and recapture the magic of the original films. Does he pull it off? PREMISE: "In 2104, the crew of the colony ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with some 2,000 colonists and over 1,400 embryos on-board, monitored by Walter, a more advanced android resembling the earlier David. A neutrino shockwave damages the ship and waking the crew from stasis. While repairing the damage, they intercept a human radio transmission from a seemingly lifeless nearby planet. Against the objection of Daniels (Katherine Waterston), the ship's terraforming expert and acting executive officer, Captain Christopher Oram (Billy Crudup) decide to investigate."
