Alien: Covenant - Prologue: Last Supper (2017) Reviews

• Gets you in the mood for the actual film

  This is actually a really good prequel, reveals almost nothing about the plot, builds suspense and horror, and gives you a connection to the characters. Actually, I wish all studios would make prologues instead of trailers. Prologues set up the story without spoiling anything. Anyway, with this cast and cinematography, the actual film might be a better entry in the Alien universe, better than Prometheus that is.

• Not too great of an appetizer really

  "Prologue: Last Supper" is a 4.5-minute live action short film that was released in February 2017, so pretty recently. It follows the action of Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" and takes pace before his new movie. Fittingly, the director is Luke Scott, son of Ridley, and an aspiring (Sci-Fi) filmmaker in his own right, even if he certainly still has to prove himself. What I have seen from him so far is not that impressive and I am not sure he'd have a career without his famous dad. Anyway, this one here includes many faces and characters (such as Oscar nominees Fassbender, Bichir and Franco) that you will see in "Alien: Covenant" as well. But the action in this pretty short film is mostly comedy. Seemingly serious situations like a virus and a character's breathing problems get resolved when we find out that it's just the problem that some food got in the wrong pipe. Nothing too spectacular or entertaining or relevant and I guess it's only worth seeing for those who really can't wait for another two months until the next Ridley Scott project hits theaters.
