Event Alien: Covenant

Personally, I wanted a movie focusing more on the Space Jockey and Ridley did that by giving us the Engineers story. At least he attempted something different from the formulaic Alien series storyline.

Overall, I was a little disappointed with the movie Prometheus. However, there are some gems we can take away from the movie and apply them later in the series or even a remake years down the road.

Interesting concepts used in Prometheus:

Space Jockey background story (Ridley chose to use them as Engineers and the origins of humanity)

Evolution of the Alien from a Trilobite to a Deacon

Cylinders of Black Goo (aka Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15) - Once exposed to another organism, the virus begins mutating its host giving us: hammerpede, mutated geologist Fifield, and trilobite (and the eventual Deacon).

The Hammerpede is the result of indigenous worms of LV-223 being exposed to Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15. Whether they can be formed from other species of worm on other planets is unknown.

Mutated by the Black Liquid, Fifield slaughters several crew members. His transformation allowed him to survive being run over and shot in the head.

The Trilobite was the result of Charlie Holloway being infected with Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 and engaging in sexual intercourse with Elizabeth Shaw.

The Deacon was an accidental result of the Engineers' Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 that was originally used as a bioweapon as well as presumably creating life. The Liquid infected Charlie Holloway, who impregnated Elizabeth Shaw with a Trilobite. This Trilobite eventually matured and impregnated an Engineer on LV-223, whereupon the Deacon developed and burst from the Engineer's chest.

 

I dont. I have a disease called being a cynical ass hole. Every movie i watch looks like a turd being reheated.
