Alien: Covenant | Prologue: Last Supper | 20th Century FOX

[@niallreid7664]

I feel like no one is giving Fassbender's character enough credit for the single most badass choking rescue in history.

[@tcjester89]

Niall Reid And there's going to be two Fassbenders! That's double the chance this movie won't suck.

[@bishop6881]

Niall Reid he fixes everything he touches, except assassins creed

[@MissHeathen]

I feel like people are more "triggered" by two gay people than to notice Ridley Scott's obsession for religious symbolism. The Last Supper? The way the shot is positioned focusing on the young woman at the center like Christ? The Covenant? Come on people!

[@chrismoore8128]

LOL

[@newelizad4776]

True. LOL

[@osirisjunk3604]

That choking was great for 3 reasons. 1. It's a great call back to the original Alien. 2. It is used for either foreshadowing or misdirection because we don't know if she carries the rumored throatburster 3. It shows the new David android's loyalty to the crew and to Weyland. Making sure the crew stays alive long enough to finish Weyland's mission.

[@Dellaluna13]

Osiris Junk I was thinking this scene was foreshadowing as well, for either throatbursting or backbursting. And now that I read them, those terms seem completely X-rated.

[@Striker163videos]

I love how Walter is much different from David to. Almost more advanced in a way. You can still tell he's an android, but he's much more humanoid than David. I love the level of detail gone into android development. David in Prometheus, was sooooo great because you know he's an android, but what's great about that is that it shows android technology wasn't nearly as advanced as it was in Alien. Ashe was sooo convincing throughout the film so I love that detail. OMG SOOO GOOD!

[@jeancrolon3639]

+Striker163 also Walter talks almost like bishop when David sounded more like a child

[@Striker163videos]

+Justin Ferrell personally I loved Prometheus. But don't worry. The writer of gladiator(also directed by Ridley Scott) is coming back and working with him again on Covenant so now all the cool questions Prometheus brought up will be followed up on by a competent writer. Hopefully it could be like what Lost could have been if a smart writer came in in the last two seasons and gave it a good ending lol

[@ripper12322]

I think Prometheus biggest problem was not all the questions it asked as I also really enjoyed the film for what it was, but the problems were in the curiosity and simple mindedness of "world renowned" scientist who did the stupidest things and I am specifically looking at that snake scene.

[@Jadefox32]

They even mentioned the Aliens, "Giant cockroaches that *then the person is cut off*"

[@Jadefox32]

@Ripper you realize that in movies characters will not do things that someone in a scientific profession would do. If they did then as soon as the outbreak starts they'd go right into containment protocol and probably burn anyone they assumed of being infected right away.

[@RaikenXion]

So would you say it looks promising?

[@BrazucaTrailers]

Yep. Brilliant.

[@sidewinder3000]

How is this NOT in the movie? Just saw Alien: Covenant and I feel like not including this scene was a big mistake. This little piece goes a long way in helping to establish the group's characters and relationships, something that the opening of the film could definitely use more of. It also clearly establishes Walter's crush on Daniels, the geeky judgment of religious nerds Oram & Karine, and the fact that everyone on board is married (an interesting detail which is barely an afterthought in the film itself). I'm very happy that I heard about this prologue on Filmspottung as I was driving home from the theater, and was able to see it here on KZbin; it's an unfortunate omission from the film.

[@Replicode]

They should not have assumed everyone saw this prologue. It's less than 5 minutes long yet adds more characterization than anything else in the film. It's a missed opportunity because the cast is fantastic. James Franco as a the ships captain was an inspired choice and its a shame we didn't even get to see him on the big screen.

[@BanilyaGorilya]

I think it's also a padded judgment from the studio. The movie would've been too long in comparison to how long the actual alien makes an appearance. Just like with 2014 Godzilla. I for one agree with you.

[@callintegralnow]

sidewinder3000 I agree 100!

[@germanichammersmash6440]

I just bought the movie, and I just found out about these scenes.. I watched the movie and couldn't relate with these dumb fuckng characters. This scene would have made the movie better, but still not good, and far from great.

[@EmmaEquinox]

I saw the movie his week and it just pissed me off. I didn't care about anyone and killing off Shaw that way was downright disrespectful. but I JUST found these prologue scenes.. whyyy the hell weren't these in the movie? there was more character development in these five mins that that entire two hour movie. -_-

[@GTKdyehard]

I wish all studios would make prologues instead of trailers. Prologues setup the story without spoiling anything.

[@jiriq8853]

I love the way Fassbender plays the android. He's got the stoicism down perfectly, he could easily play a terminator. Plus the surgical precision of that punch Heimlich maneuver was awesome.

[@ACMA61]

Probably smacked her on the back and quietly thought to himself "Pipe down, little Xenomorph baby, it ain't your time yet!"

[@soab24]

"surgical precision". it was actually bullshit, either you clap their back a couple of times or you press up into the stomach (Heimlich maneuver). Giving them a violent punch in the back won't accomplish much more than pain.

[@MrStoryMaster]

Have you ever done the Heimlich? Or back blows to someone who's choking? Sometimes it clears on the first instance, especially if it's liquid. And considering Fasbender plays an android (who can perform surgery no less, mind you.) it's not unbelievable he'd be able to dislodge something with a calculated amount of force in one blow.

[@cloudstriker3972]

[@dylan54t]

That's the only role he can play because his acting is so fucking robotic and boring

[@Psydekick00]

[@peek-a-boos]

Well. These people aren't miners, and they're not in the first line of ships like Prometheus. Secondly, they're barely waking up. They're not in close proximity to scour the planet and colonize (this is the part where they're required to give impression). Last I checked, the crew in the Nostromo was rudely awakened after a distress signal, so they didn't have enough time for chitchat. We don't actually know how colonists "behave", since we see them in Aliens for the first time (with most of them dead). The scientists abroad Prometheus are there for strict business -- the representative Vickers is largely influential and assures the importance of their mission.

[@AngelusHale]

[@jazzx251]

If you wanted to colonise a planet, would you just send a random bunch of jerks there? No - you would pick and choose the nicest, well-balanced people you could. People who you knew might get along for decades of hard work. So, yes, these are not like the crew of the Nostromo at all ... they are very positive, nice, people who stand the greatest chance of not killing each other several light years from known civilisation.

[@JordanGauvreau]

This was perfect. It sets things up for the film, it pays homage to the original Alien film with one of it's most iconic scenes.

20th Century Fox The fact that you've pushed this film FORWARD, in a crowded movie release no less, tells me that this is something special. I really hope that, like Logan, this movie gets released to critics two weeks in advance and it gets great reviews.

[@Striker163videos]

I love how Walter is much different from David to. Almost more advanced in a way. You can still tell he's an android, but he's much more humanoid than David. I love the level of detail gone into android development. David in Prometheus, was sooooo great because you know he's an android, but what's great about that is that it shows android technology wasn't nearly as advanced as it was in Alien. Ashe was sooo convincing throughout the film so I love that detail. OMG SOOO GOOD!

[@QubaTV]

+Emperor Psycho ... the main crew (all couples) and their android, Walter, enjoy their final ...

Here's some quotes Danny McBride Aka "Tennessee" will say in this movie. "These aliens look like the cockroaches in my old apartment." "Woah, I wish the girls back home rode my face like those aliens." "Wish the girls from the middle school around the block matured as fast as these xenomorphs." "Now I want all the girls I meet to have two mouths"

I think they're more like pioneers. Building the necessary infrastructure and prepare the planet for permanent settlement. Kind of like the colonists in Aliens. They built the atmotrans and worked for decades to make the planet inhabitable. This is a multi billion dollar project. They won't invest that kind of money to get a couple of random people to a distant planet. They're the working crew not the intended populiation. So it makes no difference at all if there are homosexuals on board.

[@Jachangirl94]

This Scene makes me so sad...they were so full of hope and excitement for their new world. :-( Such a great scene. Well done Ridley Scott...well done!

Great chemistry between everyone, I'm really excited for this! The ambiguity of the "last supper" was great, -the crew's last supper before cryo sleep and/or before the aliens arrive. Their reactions to thinking it's only the former shows the first step - unemotional acceptance of what is about to happen.

[@1234762]

Dormammu dude, read the description of the video. The scene was conceived by Ridley and 3AM(an effects company I think) and directed by Luke Scott. So credit is due to them both and 3AM. This was probably filmed while Ridley worked on other aspects of the movie since this is likely just a viral marketing video

[@tallybee9091]

Wow, this should've been in the movie. This small scene provides a lot more connection to the characters as a group.

[@ArtofLunatik]

the casting for this movie already feels like a better choice of cast than what we got in Prometheus. So far I got a good feeling about this movie.

[@thePANDEMlC]

You see Franco and Mcbride and you think better? Prometheus had Noomi Rapace(Girl with a Dragon Tattoo), Logan Marshall Green(The Invitation/Quarry), Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Guy Pearce. On paper, amazing cast. Sure the other unknowns ended up being horrible stereotypes but it's hard to argue that Prometheus had bad casting.

[@FirehousePlay]

This scene is no unrealistic. The nature of space travel requires almost military style maturity and command. These characters reflect truck drivers.

[@Torokk]

lol have you seen Prometheus? The crew is insanely stupid, terrible decision making and way to conduct themselves throughout all the movie. I facepalmed so hard there, I'm starting to think it's a topos, one that I would gladly have abandoned and looked at with disgust... I am with you, where the f**k are the smart people... but you know what the answer is? Probably safe back home, hell nay anyone sane enough is taking these kind of trips in the galaxy for the sake of mankind's future. If I see at it this way it becomes natural that apart from the androids and seemingly decent commanders the members have to be either incredibly dumb or so unscrupolous and easygoing.

[@AvinDov]

It's science fiction so I think they can do whatever they want. Besides, the android is there to help keep them all in check and make sure everything works

[@jonathank9648]

oh you know because of all the times you've been into space? and at any rate what makes you think going to space is any different than driving a truck or cargo plane in this universe?

[@hustlened7494]

Ever actually seen alien? It's not about a 'militarised maturity' humans are humans you can't expect everyone to be a soulless loser

[@Irwe3]

That was the intended feel of the first move, "truck drivers in space". I think it's great that they kept the atmosphere.

[@JarrodGamingTV]

You can hear that the soundtrack in the end got inspired by Hans Zimmer's S.T.A.Y. of Interstellar. I don't judge the maker for that. Hans is a freaking legend and inspiring and I loved Interstellar's soundtrack.

[@OutrageousPizza1]

Quantum Artist Its a great piece of music. one of the best film scores ever, i think.

[@BadMichael07]

No one cares who do you hate dude xD Their presence has nothing to do with the storyline either, so yeah, it's totally your own problem

[@LostEternity13]

I think they're just the crew of the ship; the colonizers are probably already in cryo-sleep. You'd need a lot more people (hundreds or even thousands) to start a colony on another planet...

[@BadMichael07]

Ricardo Soto Because colonizing a whole planet would take 10 people... thousands of years? At the very least. Meanwhile they can just transport colonists (civilians) in the ship. Especially when it's so big. I think that is more than obvious. Besides, people who control the ship can't just leave it and start colonizing a planet. Everyone has their role to play in these things. It's not like 10 people do the whole plan, especially when it's such a big thing. Making members of the crue do everything is just ridiculous. No one would approve such a plan

[@onyonrong9244]

BadMichael07 you realize that the ship is HUGE and probably has many more people

[@BadMichael07]

Kibba I was talking about the crew on it's own. I'm actually convinced that there are more people on the ship. The first trailer would make more sense then, because the guy who got chestbursted wasn't member of the crew
