Alien: Covenant (2017)

I wasn't expecting much and never even watched the trailer or knew who was in it. I was pleasantly surprised and would rank it third in the series behind the first two. There are some great scenes that are scary and/or intense. Solid job by the cast, and while a few effects looked too modern, the visuals were mostly terrific.

A question about Alien Covenant:

WARNING: spoilers below

If the android made the alien, then why were there depictions of aliens on the walls in Prometheus?

Good question and I have no idea. Fortunately I've never tried making any sense of those movies.

The first Alien made sense. I never needed any sequels.

The ending of Prometheus indicates that xenomorphs already existed in one form, but Covenant shows that David's experiments were what created the "classic" xenomorph

I never realised just how beautifully composed this movie is.

You like that explanation? I prefer the explanation that it's a plot hole.

Why would you prefer willful ignorance?

Rejecting an explanation that makes no sense is ignorance in your opinion?

What about it doesn't make sense?

Well the whole thing is a bit convoluted. So there were aliens carved on the wall in Prometheus implying they were around for a while. Then one hybrid thing formed at the end of Prometheus. I guess this liquid goes through various stages until it reaches the final alien monster? Then if it already existed why did the android engineer it in Covenant? Was he trying to improve its design?
It just seems like a really weak plot.

Convoluted and weak, perhaps, but it makes narrative sense (you definitely seem to pick up on David's motivation just fine).

I disagree with the poster who said Alien didn't need any sequels. The first is the best one of course, but Aliens is still a great sequel. Alien 3 is flawed but interesting. I think it's when Alien: Ressurection arrived that the series really started to go downhill. Alien: Covenant is my least favorite excluding the Alien Vs. Predator movies.
