It generally received favorable reviews but failed to receive any major awards or accolades. Killing off the characters of Bishop, Newt and Hicks in the first scene understandably earned some immediate backlash, but with all the random directions the franchise has since taken, it no longer seems like such a drastic departure. Instead, take the film for what it is: an exciting and gory sci-fi horror flick that puts an army of Aliens inside a prison and foundry with a group of dangerous and violent inmates.
It was written by David Giler, Walter Hill and Larry Ferguson, and directed by David Fincher, who later disowned the film, blaming studio interference and deadlines. Critics were kinder to "Prometheus," but we enjoyed 's "Alien: Covenant" a bit more because as fans of the "Alien" franchise, we actually like to see aliens.
Sure, "Prometheus" had a couple, but it took its own unique story path, as opposed to its sequel, "Alien: Covenant," which resembles the previous installments much more. Packed with action, suspense, gore and some seriously disturbing sequences, "Covenant" might lack the depth of its predecessor, but watching multiple aliens dominate a group of helpless humans reminded us how fun the franchise can be.
Game over, man! The part went to Kevin Peter Hall instead. The critical reception was initially mixed, but many of those opinions eventually changed in later years.
