Product description

The path to paradise begins in hell. Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

From the manufacturer

A dream is born

20th Century Fox’s story begins in a tiny theater on New York’s Lower East Side. In 1904, fresh from Hungary, 25-year-old William Fox amazed audiences with his magical hand-cranked films. The beginnings were humble – folding chairs, a painted wall for a screen – but the desire to entertain and move people has been at the core of what 20th Century Fox has been doing ever since. By 1915 Fox’s five-cent movie shows were wildly popular and his single screen grew first into a chain of 25 theaters around New York City and then into a movie making business.

It's 'Alien'. Again.

Great image quality, decent special features, film itself is a bit lacking. But if you like 'Alien', it's 'Alien' again so if you're cool with that it's worth a watch.

The first two Alien films are classic. The follow ups till Prometheus are reasonable. Covenant is quite appalling.

Watch it and make your own mind up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2017

I'm quite annoyed with myself for listening to all the negative reviews. I'm a big fan of the Alien films and sci fi generally.But because I read a number of bad reviews on IMDB and such like, I didn't go and at see it in the cinema. My loss. Re - reading some of those reviews, I think they were venting because they wanted more of the horror / suspense element of Aliens and while there is some of that, it is not Aliens 2.1. I also don't understand all the criticism that the crew made outrageously stupid decisions. Probably the only one that really stands out for me is not wearing any kind of protective breathing apparatus when landing on an alien unexplored world. Did they never watch War of the Worlds ! 😀 But you can overthink these things - its entertainment guys.

Alright the plot is not going to win any Oscar nonminations and as much as we would love it to be, it won't entering the list of cult sci-fi classics. But in my opinion it's certainly not deserving of the many negative reviews out there on the internet and delivers a nice tie in with Prometheus and the whole unfolding backdrop to the story.

Watch it and make your own mind up. It actually get s a 4.5 from me.

What Prometheus should have been!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2017

I don't get where all the hate for this movie comes from. I also don't recognise the story flaws or stupid decisions made by the crew the other reviewers keep mentioning. In fact I found the story and script of this movie fantastic and vastly improved over Prometheus. Also the crew is much more relatable and the movie itself much better cast. Gone is Prometheus' sterile look and the new military look suits this movie extremely well. Jed Kurzel delivered a great score contrary to Streitenfeld's drab contribution to Prometheus. I had a blast watching this movie and can only hope the franchise continues like this. What a great movie!

More of the same

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2018

Covenant is a decent film. While of course it doesn’t come anywhere close to the original, it’s slightly better than Prometheus.

Covenant ticks all the boxes without particularly excelling at anything. There is a decent amount of action, a smattering of gore, and a mediocre plot that keeps things chugging along. But you’ve seen it all before, and the film doesn’t deviate from the same formula used in the other instalments. It also lacks tension which is criminal for an Alien film.

The characters are forgettable, with Fassbender’s Android being by far the most interesting (says it all really), and the writing is lazy as evidenced by some completely brain dead decision making.

The only thing that gives Covenant any sort of individuality is with regards to the overarching mythology, which is moved on despite being under explained and a little bit odd. This is a shame because I think with better writers they could have created a much stronger franchise.

As it stands we have yet another mediocre film advancing a mediocre mythology. The special effects on the whole are quite good, although some of the alien/neomorph CGI is unconvincing in my opinion. It’s a 3 star film and if you’re ok with that you should enjoy it.

An improvement over Prometheus which injects some new life into a tired franchise

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2020

December 2104. The colony ship Covenant is on its way to Origae-VI to establish a new settlement. A neutrino burst damages the ship in interstellar space and kills several crewmembers in hypersleep. Awoken by the ship's synthetic, Walter, the crew effect repairs and discover a signal emanating from a nearby star system, from a planet that is a much closer match for colonisation. Arriving on the planet, the crew find signs of life...and an answer to a mystery from a decade earlier.

Alien: Covenant is Ridley Scott's sequel to his 2012 movie Prometheus, itself a semi-prequel/semi-spin-off from his 1979 horror masterpiece Alien. As the titles suggest, Prometheus was much more of a stand-alone movie sharing some DNA with the rest of the franchise but not focusing on the titular creature. Covenant instead brings back the traditional xenomorph and establishes how it was created, whilst resolving some of the questions left dangling from Prometheus.

The result is an interesting hybrid movie which feels like it's trying to do several things simultaneously. It's trying to be an action-horror movie in its own right, a sequel to the more weighty concerns in Prometheus and a prequel to the events of the original movie. Considering a prequel to the original movie, let alone two, was never narratively necessary, this was an controversial decision, but one that ultimately pays off.

Covenant has a familiar set-up: a starship picks up a distress call and diverts to investigate, finding a ruined alien ship harbouring something nasty, something which can infect humans and turn them into the incubators for monstrous creations. Things quickly go wrong and mayhem results. The film borrows its basic structure from Alien, although it does mix the ingredients up to keep things more unpredictable without descending into the sheer randomness of Prometheus.

What helps keep all of this intriguing is that Ridley Scott is, even at the tail end of his career, still a masterful director with a tremendous sense of visual power and a strong design aesthetic. The Covenant and the various locations in the film are all impressive pieces of design, if less striking than Prometheus. Scott can also build tension like few other directors. This time around he's helped by a script which doesn't rely on the characters being quite as monumentally stupid as the ones in Prometheus, based on the fact these guys are engineers and colonists having to work way out of their comfort zones, rather than the alleged first contact specialists and biologists of the previous movie.

The film is paced pretty well, with the action unfolding continuously from the landing on the planet to the final confrontation with the creature, and handles a distinct shift in storytelling when David, the android from Prometheus, shows up and effectively shoehorns a follow-up story from that movie into the middle of this more traditional Alien tale. Mostly propelled by Michael Fassbender's superb performance (as both David and the Covenant's synthetic of the same class, Walter), this actually works to the film's benefit, providing a shift of pace and perspective which changes things up and keeps things fresh even as we begin to move away from the focus of Prometheus (the Engineers and the black goo-ex-machina) and back towards the franchise's star creature.

The final part of the movie - the human crewmembers versus the xenomorph with the androids serving as wild cards - is a bit more standardand and you can feel Scott checking out a little bit in the final battle with the creature in the Covenant's hanger bay (which viewers familiar with both Alien and Aliens may find dully predictable), but it's all well-handled. Less forgivable is a blatant sequel hook which, given Covenant's modest box office performance, may have been a bit optimistic. As it stands there's still a lot of unanswered questions on how the events of Prometheus and Covenant lead into Alien, but some of the revelations in Covenant make this perhaps a more interesting question than it appeared from Prometheus alone.

Most of the cast are pretty good, with a surprisingly effective dramatic turn for Danny McBride and a strong leading performance with Katherine Waterston, with a good supporting turn by Billy Crudup. Fassbender with his dual roles steals the film, however, providing an icy new antagonist for a franchise that urgently needed one, having all but burned out the threat level of the xenomoph through over-exposure.

Alien: Covenant (****) is an effective action-horror movie which overcomes over-familiarity with some excellent performances and superb direction and design work, although the soundtrack is at best forgettable. Stronger than Prometheus, if not on the same level as Alien and Aliens, it shows there is some life left in this franchise.

Stunning bluray of a stunning movie.

Ok, I finally got around to see Alien: Covenant (yes, I am slow) and, holy cow, that was awesome! Anyone disliking it really need to get their heads examined for excessive negative bias, a severe condition found altogether too often among movie-goers..

First of all (and this was to be expected) the production values were stunning! I loved the use of the musical theme from the first movie, and (and this was the most important thing): all the flaws in Prometheus (a film which I found very good and very interesting, I really want to stress that) were basically non-existing here:

1) The sometimes cringe-worthy dialogue was missing.

2) The crew was far more likeable, engaging and beliavable. Yes, the captain stuck his head inside an egg (well, not really) but a) Kane did the same in Alien (and, boy, did he stick his head REAL close) and b) he trusted the android (and why shouldn't he, at that point?)

3) The twist of the android (why do people keep refering to them as robots?) turning into some power-mad despot with a God-complex was bold and really interesting, and fit into the whole theme of creation and biological horrors, some of them very sexual in nature (see the first and third film.)

The action was really heart-pounding and I really felt for the character's fates, which was NOT the case in Prometheus, which, I need to stress again, I really liked, despite some flaws. All in all, Covenant was a great, grand and surprisingly moving piece of cinematic art, and I truly hope that, with time, its reputation will grow, expand and finally make it recognized as the truly staggering achievement it is.
