Alien: Covenant

Alien: Covenant represents a pretty sharp correction following Prometheus (a movie that I strongly disliked the first time I saw it, but have softened towards over the last decade.) When Covenant works, it expertly marries the tones of the prequel and the original movie and becomes something fascinating.

When it doesn’t, it starts quoting Milton.
