I wasn't really impressed with this one. Sure, the CGI was top-notch as was the acting. There was even some brief attempts at a "hand-off". However, while this prequel answered some questions and showed what happened immediately following Prometheus, the bulk of the story falls flat. One thing that really bothered me is the updated tech - like all the fancy holographic displays, etc. If Prometheus and Covenant are BEFORE Alien, how is Mr. Scott going to explain the dramatic downgrading of the technology to match up with Alien and Aliens? Another thing that bugged me was all the unnecessary "blood & guts". In Alien and Aliens it was proven that implied events create more tension and horror than showing every gross detail. In my opinion, Ridley Scott should forego any more prequels and, instead, focus on a REBOOT of Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Call it Alien 3R and Alien 4R and pretend those two crap-tastic movies were never filmed. Why are all the great movies rebooted and flops aren't, anyway? Read full review

This is an interesting, if somewhat foolishly based story. The "scientists" behave like teenagers and fail to follow even the most basic quarantine procedures (just like the original "Alien" film); however, the film is shot expansively and with great detail. The characters are well-acted and believable. It allows for another installment which we will wait for with anticipation. Have you seen the "Predator" series?

Excellent prequel to the series and I'm happy to add it to my collection. I was looking for only the Blu-ray of the movie but the special edition t-shirt was an added bonus.....great design! The case cover picture was different than the normal case cover picture but is OK.

Not a bad plot and the end of the movie leaves room for another I don't want to give anything away but David is more of a villain in this one There are some surprises in the film but it certainly isn't as good as Prometheus
