A Terrifying Disappointment: Original Alien director Ridley Scott fails to bring much to Alien: Covenant, a disjointed and stiff film.
PHOTO COURTESY OF TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During Ridley Scott<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u2019s <\/span>Prometheus<\/span><\/i>, the crew attempts to revive an alien\u2019s 2000-year-old decapitated head. During the process, the alien\u2019s eyes open, sputtering and gurgling up blood. It\u2019s confused and scared. The alien\u2019s head bubbling and twitching. As the crew expects it to say something, the head explodes, leaving the lab a mess and the crew disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s <\/span>Alien: Covenant<\/span><\/i> is the severed head in this scenario, and the crew\u2019s disappointment is the audience\u2019s own feelings watching this. In trying to revive the Alien<\/em> franchise, Scott breaks his promise to fans by producing a film as coherent and graceful as the garbling of the aforementioned alien head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alien: Covenant<\/span><\/i>, the sequel to <\/span>Prometheus <\/span><\/i>(2012), follows the crew of the Covenant, a spaceship filled with colonists en route to a faraway planet. Walter (Michael Fassbender), the ship\u2019s android, watches over the colonists during the journey. After a bizarre space anomaly causes the ship to malfunction, the Covenant\u2019s crew receives a distress message from an unexplored planet. Despite protests by the ship\u2019s second- in-command Daniels Branson (Katherine Waterston), Covenant captain Christopher Oram (Billy Crudup) leads a scouting expedition on the unknown planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film\u2019s narrative is then divided between xenomorphs (the scary aliens that appear in all the films) hunting the Covenant\u2019s crew and the personal story of David 8, a character from Scott\u2019s <\/span>Prometheus <\/span><\/i>who\u2019s also played by Fassbender. However, Scott fails to manage these two stories seamlessly. Scenes of crew members being slaughtered by aliens are followed by philosophical conversations between David and Walter. Rather than feeling natural, these narratives are so stark in tone and purpose that they seem like two different films forced to share one.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most menacing thing about <\/span>Alien: Covenant<\/span><\/i> is the writing. With the exceptions of Danny McBride<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, who plays Covenant pilot Tennessee Farris, and Fassbender, <\/span>Alien: Covenant<\/span><\/i>\u2019s cast succumbs to a shoddy script. Character development is pushed aside in favor of the characters telling the audience what to notice. Everything, from major plot points to the quietness of the unknown planet is remarked upon, as if Scott is afraid these developments will slip past the viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, while Fassbender provides fantastic performances for both David and Walter, those expecting the David from <\/span>Prometheus <\/span><\/i>(or anything else related to <\/span>Prometheus<\/span><\/i>) will be disappointed. Elizabeth Shaw\u2019s search for the meaning of creation and the Adonis-like Engineers are discarded in the film, with no hope for return, while David has shifted off-screen from an emotionally tormented android to a clich\u00e9d sci-fi Dr. Frankenstein.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those expecting a movie akin to Scott\u2019s <\/span>Alien<\/span><\/i> (1979) or James Cameron\u2019s <\/span>Aliens<\/span><\/i> (1986) will also be disappointed. Scott abandons practical effects, using exclusively CGI to display the xenomorphs. Additionally, he places the xenomorphs in either open or heavily lit spaces, destroying any sense of claustrophobia or tension in the aliens\u2019 appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coupled with a blue filter that robs the color and vibrancy of the film and a twist ending as subtle as a chestburster, there is little to differentiate <\/span>Alien: Covenant <\/span><\/i>from a standard summer blockbuster.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
