Episode notes
With the highly anticipated release of 'Alien: Romulus' due in August, I thought I would revisit and discuss the highly divisive 'Alien: Covenant' released in 2017 - because WHY NOT.
Ridley Scott returned again to the directors chair, however the films overall narrative and tone is a tad jarring considering it merged both the Prometheus plot along with that of being a prequel to Alien.
But in the midst of the messiness, I still had a real great time with the film. Michael Fassbender's portrayal as David was excellent in Prometheus, but even better in Covenant. The film feels darker in tone in places, however I found the themes of creation and existence extremely compelling throughout.
