Editing Alien (section)

==Alien: Covenant==
Another film of varying degrees of skub, depending on who you ask. To some, it’s a return to form for Ridley Scott and the franchise. To others, it’s a poorly written mess and Ridley should have never have come back to the series. Wherever you fall, the movie’s a lot of fun. Violent deaths, crazy androids, and a good old fashioned shower kill. 

The Covenant is a colony ship headed to a new world, but things take a left turn immediately when a solar flare kills James Franco. The crew decides “fuck all this space shit”, and instead head to a nearby habitable planet (that they found because of John Denver.) Of course it isn’t paradise and the landing crew is mostly killed pretty quickly. They also find David, the Android from Prometheus, who has been experimenting with genetically engineering life. His efforts yield the Facehugger, which does exactly what you’d expect it would. Eventually they return to the ship, square off against the alien one last time, and go to hyper sleep. Except it turns out David had infiltrated the crew by taking the place of the crew’s robot Walter, who just happens to look exactly like David. It’s implied David is going to spend some time experimenting on all the juicy colonists still laying in hyper sleep.
