I wish I had seen
Prometheus in the last week or so so the events were fresher in my mind. However, as I said, the story is such that it expands on the events in that film and takes it on so there is capacity for another couple of films to link
Alien: Covenant to the events in
Alien. When it is complete, the five or six film series (from
Prometheus to
Alien) will be epic in scope and something to both enjoy and debate over the course of a week.
There are some scenes which are almost B-movie popcorn entertainment and others which are grander in scope, drawing on Byron and Shelley, speculating on the purpose of the human race and, in David, having one of the great antagonists of science fiction cinema. It is a film I'm very much looking forward to watching again and it has rekindled my interest in
Prometheus, something I'll probably revisit this weekend.
