Five years after the release of Promethus , Ridley Scott continues his revision of the Alien franchise with his third entry into the series alien covenant. Set ten years after the events of Prometheus, we follow a new crew of colonists as they embark on a dangerous mission after recieving a distress signal from an uncharted world.If that sounds alot like the premise of the first alien then thats because it is.It seems scott and Fox listened to the disgruntled fanbase who bemoaned the gaping plotholes and lack of aliens in Prometheus and decided to reboot the franchise in the same way  disney and universal did with star wars and jurrassic park.on paper it seemed a good idea at the time with both  films tapping into audiance nostalgia and giving them more of the same.So we have a new crew of blue collar workers , who  are  married couples sent to populate an offworld colony.  Our crew are busy making repairs and mounring the loss of thier captain  After an mid-voyage coll
