We love H.R. Giger’s Alien monsters: the intergalactic gothic superbeasts that look like a combination of male and female genitalia who will ruin your day if they don’t impregnate you first.
In the latest chapter of the Aliens Franchise, Alien:Covenant, we get to the planet of the hunky space jockeys where the evil robot David, played by Michael Fassbender, who like a demonic Leonardo Da Vinci, has been cooking up trouble with the funky black tar to create monsters.
Ultimately, the movie derails into a hodge podge of callbacks to other Alien films, which, like Charlize Theron doing her best Wile E Coyote impression, trying to outrun the rolling spaceship in Prometheus, falls flat under its own weight.
Today, we take a look at the new Alien: Covenant film, our favorite things from past Alien movies, why we’re all secretly rooting for the monster and why the movie and book titles sound like gay Broadway plays.
Bromethius the musical! Don’t be hating, these Alien Engineer cosplayers are hot. Alex Fuller, Daniel James.
