Alien: Covenant does the only logical thing: It makes us, the delusional schoolyard bullies that we are, still thinking we’re the centre of the universe, the aggressors. Like the pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic to populate/desecrate the New World, the humans at the centre of Alien: Covenant travel in a spaceship with the intention of colonising a distant planet. In fact, much of the story’s central thrust hinges on how well you remember David, that idiosyncratic android played so wonderfully by Michael Fassbender in the previous movie. Here’s Alien: Covenant, a film brave enough to have one Michael Fassbender driod kiss another full on the lips, opening up a world of philosophical debate, but we sit there impatiently wondering if the Alien only eats humans.
