Movie Review – ALIEN: COVENANT Isn’t ALIEN Yet, But It Doesn’t Have To Be

It’s been ten years since Peter Weyland financed the ill fated Prometheus expedition, intent on finding and meeting the supposed creators of the human race or “engineers”. Now Weyland Corp. has become Weyland Yutani, and their focus is now that of “building better worlds”. To that end the company has sought out other habitable distant planets for the purpose of colonization. The crew of a Colony Ship named Covenant are charged with transporting over 2,000 cryo-slumbering colonists and over 1,000 frozen embryos to their destination on the planet Origae-6. During the voyage, an energy flare from an exploding star causes damage to the ship, causes the death of a few colonists and the ship’s captain, who becomes trapped in his cryo-stasis pod as it encounters a catastrophic malfunction. The rest of the crew having been awakened by the mission’s synthetic crew member, Walter, assess the damage and begin repairs. As they complete the necessary repairs to Covenant, they receive transmission

Does The New ALIEN: COVENANT Featurette Confirm A Connection To Ripley

Today, Fox released a new featurette for Covenant, and unless it’s just wishful thinking, the voice of the computer system, known as MU/TH/UR 6000 aka “Mother”, sounds very familiar. If we are right, the voice belongs to none other Sigourney Weaver, known for playing the iconic role of Ripley in Alien and Aliens. So, how could that be? Bloody-Disgusting points out that Prometheus took place in 2093, fast forward 10 years to when Covenant is set, followed by Alien, which was set in 2122. Here’s where things get interesting, Katherine Waterston plays the new role of Daniels in Alien: Covenant and rumor is, Daniels is actually Ripley’s mother.
