‘Alien: Covenant’

There are a lot of interesting themes at play in “Alien: Covenant.” It’s an engaging movie about the nature of humanity, the role of artificial intelligence in our species’ future, and the dangers of playing god. If “Alien: Covenant” and “Prometheus” were wholly divorced from the “Alien” brand, they’d be a lot more enjoyable, and audiences wouldn’t spend the whole time waiting for some good xenomorph action.
