3 Reasons Why Alien: Covenant is the Best in the Franchise Since Aliens

May 20, 2017 by Samuel Brace

Samuel Brace argues that Alien: Covenant is the best instalment in the franchise since Aliens… Alien: Covenant has been called a return to form for Ridley Scott’s much famed Alien franchise after many were lukewarm on 2012’s Prometheus.

May 18, 2017 by Sean Wilson

Is it best when Ridley Scott is tethered to a well-constructed source? On the basis of his new Alien movie, Sean Wilson thinks this could well be the case… There’s a lot to admire about Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s gore-strewn return to the sci-fi horror franchise he kickstarted back in 1979.
