"ALIEN: COVENANT" SPOILERS

The spaceship Covenant is transporting frozen embryos to a human colony on a faraway planet when they receive a distress signal from Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), from the Prometheus expedition, which disappeared 10 years prior. The crew is brought out of hypersleep to answer to the signal, which leads to the death of the Covenant's captain, Branson (James Franco). His wife, terraforming researcher Daniels (Katherine Waterson), is deeply affected by the accident, while Branson's first officer Archer (Billy Crudup) is made captain. The Covenant is piloted by Daniels's friend Tennessee (Danny McBride) and the crew is aided by an android, Walter (Michael Fassbender).

The Covenant follows Shaw's signal to Paradise, an uncharted forest planet and homeworld of the Engineers, the ancient extraterrestrials that seeded life on Earth and then sought to the destroy it. The Engineers' secret weapon, the black ooze, has spread through Paradise, turning it into a wasteland. The Covenant's crew ventures into Paradise on a transport shuttle, and two of its members are exposed to spores released by plants infected by the ooze. One of them is quarantined aboard the transport shuttle, where a monstrous "Neomorph" bursts from his back and kills another crewmember. While trying to kill it, another crewmember accidentally shoots the shuttle's fuel tank, causing it to explode.

Another Neomorph bursts from the other infected crewmember's throat and chases the remaining crew into the forest, where they are ambushed by more Neomorphs and all but Daniels, Tennessee, Archer and Walter are slaughtered. They are rescued from the Neomorphs by David (Michael Fassbender), the sole survivor of the Prometheus crew.

David reveals that Shaw sacrificed herself to crash a spaceship against Paradise's surface, exposing the Engineers to the black ooze to prevent them from destroying Earth, leaving him stranded on Paradise.

Sounds like shit

David leads the survivors back to the Engineers' derelict citadel, where he's been living ever since. Walter mistrusts David, who is not behaving in accordance with their programming, and finds out that David in fact murdered Shaw. David's mind has been warped by the numerous modifications that his creator, Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), made to his programming during the Prometheus's expedition, and is obsessed with creating the "perfect organism". He exposed numerous lifeforms on Paradise, including Shaw, to the black ooze and, after numerous failed attempts, has created an alien egg, which produces a facehugger that latches itself to Archer.

Daniels and Tennessee realize David is controlling the Neomorphs and blow up his laboratory, killing the Neomorphs. They escape back to the Covenant with Walter and Archer in order to leave Paradise, but a Primal Xenomorph bursts out of Archer and begins slaughtering the remaining crew. Daniels and Tennessee lure the Xenomorph into the Covenant's airlock and eject it into space just as the Covenant takes off.

After escaping, Daniels and Tennessee place themselves back in hypersleep to continue their voyage to the colony, unaware that David has killed Walter and stolen his identity to leave Paradise. David secretly plants two alien egg embryos among the human frozen embryos that the Covenant is transporting to proceed to the next phase of his experiment.

So... every alien movie ever?

Is this a soft reboot like JJ Trek?

Nope.

Sounds good.

But what happens to the deacon

> ship on a very important mission
> receives distress call
> obviously not equipped
> abandons mission to uncharted area of space
> risks everybody and important mission
why.jpg
> doesn't catalogue location
> doesn't pass on information to central control so they can send in proper rescue
this is the space equivalent of "i heard something in the basement lads, let's go check it out with only a flashlight"

they deserve to be xeno'd

well the nostromo's mission was not "very important" it was a commercial towing vehicle

Not one source... fuck off with your fan theory

Stay tuned for the next sequel, Robots VS Aliens VS Predator!!

Sounds fucking stupid. It's the same shit as Alien and Prometheus.

i really cant see this movie going any other way.

It's long been confirmed, senpai.

>David is controlling the Neomorphs

Ive never dropped anything so fast, fuck this evil ai cliche bullshit

>hes controlling the neo morphs

For what purpose?

Science.

James Franco dies

There is no FTL in Alien universe. It would take another ship years to reach there after receiving the message.

So what you're saying is the best Alien movie since Alien is still Alien: Isolation.

Thanks for the update!

Anyone have the shoop with "He's back"?

>no FTL in Alien universe

Wut

Don't forget the nigger and the white woman in the shower OP, it's important or at least the producers/studio execs thought so.

He means " No faster than light travel"

...

bullshit because then they would make the avp movies not cannon but they would also fuck up all the avp comics!
if that is the case then fuck this, it is the gayest story ever

literally a shit story.

>AvP movies
>canon
What the fuck nigga?

avp was never canon

>this entire travesty of a comment

So wait, is it a forest planet or a wasteland? How exactly does black goo destroy the ecosystem?

It just covers the ground in nigger testicles filled with AIDS dust.

Yeah I know what it means, but he's wrong.

Obviously fake, no mention of the bonus situation.
