She put me back together. I'd never seen such compassion in a guman before. I then repaid her kindness by eviscerating her body and scavenging the remains to create horrific genetic experiments.

LOL... to be fair, its already known that the Engineers are not humanity creators, theyre kind of like our older brothers, aparently they were also created by the same race we were, thats why they wanted to kill us!
Older brothers, would make sense. Remember in the beginning God made Man, not woman. Which is why all the engineers seem to be male. Not male, but simply human.
I know right? I remember watching Alien Covenant and being totally surprised at the start of the movie when I realized it was actually a sequel to Prometheus with Michael Fassbender's "David" and Guy Pearce's "Weyland" characters being in the introduction. I got really excited to see Shaw repairing David and dealing with the new Deacon alien roaming around LV-223, then exploring the universe and trying to find out more about the Engineers and their motives behind creating and potentially destroying mankind... But instead we got a new crew of a new ship while Shaw apparently died offscreen between movies... I was glad Michael Fassbender was back and reprising his role (as well as taking on the role of the other android,) but the story was really not very good in my opinion. I was hoping to at least get a conclusion to David's story, or maybe a new Ridley Scott film exploring the Engineer Space Jockey guys some more, but now I see this trailer for Alien Romulus and it seems all hope is lost lol.
I agree Jonathan, I had no problems with Prometheus.. I think it was pretty interesting. So many conceded people these days who have no appreciation for any art form, be it film, music, painting, or writing. I find that most people who are critical have never had a creative thought in their entire life.
The characters admittedly made foolish choices, but the fact that a film left us with so many questions proves that the film was just THAT good. Would you really want a film that reveals all its mysteries prior to a credit roll?

There are 2 races of Engineers: Creators and Destroyers. David came on the ship to base of the Destroyers to bomb them, cause they(Destroyers) have got plans to bomb the Earth to kill the creation of the Creators.
Creators was on other type of ships (beggining of Prometheus). I guess that Destroyers were using Juggernaut type of the ships. Thats why in end of Prometheus David and Shaw could go to their (Destroyers) homeworld, cause the location of their planet was in the navigation system of the Juggernaut. But then they didn't yet know that there was two factions of Engineers. David found that out later on the ship on the way to Paradise, while Shaw was sleeping. Thats why he made decission to bomb them.
They could've made an entire movie about David and Shaw They could build up their friendship and then later in the movie create conflict by having Shaw find out about how David poisoned and killed her husband Or first have David and Shaw land and interact with the Engineers And as the movie progresses we are shown how David comes to the conclusion of killing the engineers There are endless possibilities to creating a great story about them , and I would definitely pay to watch a film exploring this idea
This would've been so much better than alien convenant... It was just another generic alien movie where the crew dies in spaceship from "unknown" organism, it was garbage... not to mention the casting team was pathetic.
Exactly, the addition of the Engineers rejuvenated the Alien universe, and then they were suddenly excised. I would have like to see Shaw meet them for some kind of explanation.
thats the scary thing about AI, they might simply not have empathy. It may just be irrelevant, not hate, just immense indefference to discomfort or suffering of humans. Shaw helped him, but that might simply not mean anything to a robot(i know hes not written this way but imagine a real AI) Im not sure whats scarier, a human trying to hurt you, or something that simply needs something from you and is completely indeferrent to what you are feeling, like nazi science experiments on steroids
THAT'S how you make trailers, none of those spoiling clips where 75% of the plot is revealed. Wish more trailers were like this. Got me more hyped for sure!
If this were the only trailer! Before this we've seen the xenonorph, neomorph, backburster, bombs dropping, engineers wipes out, face bigger, egg, chest bursting, and more. I hope there's a ton more in the movie...
@@miniwaern I have seen all of them. That is why I said the prometheus sequel was total crap. No story building of where the engineers came from or their planet or none of that. It was a total waste, killed the lead character of the new sequel and built nothing really.
THIS looks more promising than the other trailers we have seen. It almost looks like an entirely different movie. I know, this is the movie I want to see not the other one.
Al Robins couldn't have said it better, THIS is what my mind pictured , now I'm just curious about the explanation of the difference in the engineer's appearances
Shaw and David set off for the Engineer's home world. Shaw goes into cryosleep for the journey and David spends all that time (several years possibly) learning about the Engineers and their ways. Whatever he learns is enough for him to decide to bomb the Engineers with the same stuff they wanted to drop on us in Prometheus. The result of that event is probably what our Covenant crew will encounter but I'm personally interested in what David and Shaw learn and do once they arrive at the Engineer planet. It's nice to see humans (and our creations) with the upper hand for a moment.
Thank the current political correctness push! The entirety of HOLLYWOOD has allowed its self be corrupted by its plague! Every movie that has be released in the past 8 years has been nothing but trash as a result!
Completely agree. How great would it have been if this prologue (expanded of course) had been the basis for the sequel to Prometheus. Show us how David and Shaw interacted with each other on their way to wherever it was they were going. Show us what the alien world where they arrived was like prior to David's annihilation of the planet. Maybe give us a glimpse into David's psyche as an android with a lack of any kind of conscience at all. What made him motivated to bring so much suffering and death to an entire population of engineers? Instead, the whole movie felt forced. Another ship full of people going off course to investigate a signal. Characters who were caricatures or puppets controlled in such a way that almost all of their decisions seemed disingenuous and downright stupid. And the off screen elimination of the most interesting and deep character from Prometheus...the only one worth following. I think that was the most disrespectful aspect of Alien: Covenant.
It was entirely a mistake to scrap Elizabeth Shaw. I hope someone decides to step in and revive Prometheus into a broader story for all of us who were told it would be "Episodic."
Noomi rapace did not deserve to be killed off like that. I had a huge crush on her when prometheus came out and while I was crushed they killed her off and she didnt explore any of what prometheus set up, I was more sad about not being able to see her play shaw and give more life to the character, she was stunning
I think it was mainly the fans. I think Prometheus was supposed to be something new and original but many Alien fans complained because they expected an action packed movie like the other Alien movies so maybe that pressured the team to follow the franchises footsteps while making Alien Covenant. Would have been great if they carried the prometheus story on because later people started to appreciate it a lot more.
@@prometheus6898 The Prometheus franchise was doomed to fail from the start. The original franchise should've ended with Aliens. I actually don't mind Alien 3. There is a good movie there despite what people say. The fourth should've never existed, and neither should the two that followed it. I cannot stand the Prometheus franchise and I'm glad it's fucking dead.
ok, um, Noomi isn't the one being killed. you understand that, right? it's the character Elizabeth Shaw, not Noomi Rapace. got it? no? oh well, I tried.
I was really worried about the environment the colonists disturbed rather than them dying. All about David's scrolls, specimens records... Being destroyed was much of a concern for me rather than the gore, most of the time. It shows how much I would rather dive into David and Shaw's story than covenant.
I feel like this footage was meant to be the whole sequel 'Paradise' but for whatever reason they changed direction totally. Kiiind of a shame, this looks like it would be an awesome movie
well, I dont see how a movie about a person and an android exploring the engineer's home land would be interesting and suitable in a alien universe. It would make more sense to make alien covenant since we can (hopefully) see bits and pieces of their lifestyle by reference from the surroundings while also able to introduce the alien and horror components
I never saw Prometheus (still want to tho) and I got into Alien a little late so I'm behind on all the info. But it's not like a sequel is completely out of the question. Maybe "Paradise" (I'm assuming that's what the Prometheus sequel was) can be the next movie?
I was thinking the same thing, they could have shown them searching through the ship discovering all kinds of things, then they could arrive at the planet in the end... brilliant... like they could make us hate the engineers and cheer David when they get there... show them building the pyramids and enslaving humans or whatever, then wiping out the Mayans,,, where do I get my ticket for that movie?
I was so hyped for this film, a year on & I'm just getting over the disappointment. There was a website called Promethus 2 which publicised any news on the film, at one time they were certain it would be called Paradise, with the 2 surviving characters going into the Engineers home world. I was so excited with the possibilities that this story may bring & instead we had the most moronic, forgettable crew being offed like they were in some sort of teenage slasher film, i.e. Scream.
Dern Vader that is a great idea. They could have used the Sumerian mythology as a basis that the engineers created humans to be slaves, but when the 'programming' a.k.a. religion didn't take, they decided to wipe humans out, thus causing David to have a new found respect and empathy for humans and deciding to create his own life form that uses the engineers own tool (black goo) against them, like a poetic justice, creating a dangerous and unstoppable life form that is only born from humans. Voila...Alien: Covenant. Covenant being a biblical term where God made a pact with Humans but then we broke it. This would have made more sense when he dropped the goo on them. He looked angry and vengeful in that scene like he discovered a horrible truth and possibly didn't want to tell Shaw, because it would make her unravel. Or they did learn it together and she did unravel. So she could have killed herself or given up somehow and he had to watch her deteriorate. Since her faith would have been gone, committing suicide would not have phased her anymore. That would have been a better movie......the only plothole with this is that she wanted to know who made the engineers. What if that was a somehow even more disappointment that broke her. Also, the black goo could have come from some weird black hole and the engineers somehow found a way to harness it. Idk. Just throwing this out there. How else would an insane robot with a God complex and new found emotions be able to cheer up a severely depressed human going thru the mother of an existential crisis? The Sumerian mythology is the equivalent to finding out humans are basically the result of high school seniors fukn around with their science kits, trying to come up with some epic project that wins the science fair top prize, to raise money for the school because they were too lazy to bake cookies.😂
Would you explain this a little? I read the Wikipedia article on the poem and I'm not seeing how the poem is an explanation of David's actions. I'm terrible at understanding poems though.
The popular interpretation of the poem is it being about the decline of great people and civilisations, despite the great things they have achieved. Presumably, this is what David is going to demonstrate to everyone.
I felt really cheated by the way they handled Shaw's story. The character deserved much better and a whole purpose of visiting the engineers planet was wasted. Very disappointing.
@@MaxximumRage Ridley Scott had a perfect sequel originally planned, and then he and the studio caved to executive pressure because everyone hated Prometheus, even though it's actually the best movie in the entire franchise. People wanted more big scary alien ripping people apart, and so that's what they got and they still weren't happy.
First David got me pregnant with an Alien Then David killed my Husband with an Alien spor Then David tried to imprison me while an alien grew in my stomach Finally David tried to befriend the evil aliens killing us only to end up being torn to pieces. What did I do after all of this? Put him back together again :)
I like how David's "red to red, green to green"-line refers back to "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". Makes it sound so ominous, like he plans to kill her there and then. Or it's the burial of morals altogether. Nice touch!
That has to be the craziest non-sequeter I've ever read! That's like asking actor Joel Edgerton if he's related to director Robert Eggers because their names are kinda, sorta similar!
I love how people are like, "Oh, I wish we had this movie instead of Covenant" like they've seen the film already. Jeez. I mean, seriously. We got Prometheus and people said it wasn't Alien enough. Now we're getting Covenant and people are saying it's too much like Alien. People on the internet are impossible to please, my god...
Kerian Halcyon This statement is just plain retarded. You're throwing people with totally different opinions in the mix and complain that some guys didn't like what they see. Also, you can't please everyone, whether it's on the internet or irl.
Kerian Halcyon you are an idiot. There are many different people with different opinions who watched the movie. Some people enjoyed it, and others didnt - the ones that didnt complained more about it than the ones that enjoyed it talked about it. Its response bias
+Weid, Dark And Corny - *they're Sorry. I came here to discuss Alien, but then I saw your grammatical error. Just trying to help. #yourfriendlyneighborhoodgrammarnazi
Why is this prologue better than everything fox has released concerning ALIEN COVENANT? It might be too soon but i hope covenant ends up being good coz think a lot of ppl including my self enjoyed PROMETHEUS.
Because it conveys inspired ideas. But that's not really a safe bet for putting butts in seats. To achieve this, you need "money shots" and tropes, i.e. loud noises, people screaming, explosions and scary monsters, and let's face it, the xenomorph is iconic and pretty much guarantees 100 million at the box office. The main trailers have a purpose to serve. Let's just hope he prologue is more indicative of the bulk of this new movie.
I so vividly remember when this trailer/this video was only hours old as I came home from school and track and field practice, stressed out for AP tests and the SATs junior year and being absolutely enamored with David's delivery of Ozymandius's epitaph and his character in general. Having replayed it over and over again just for Fassbender's monologue "And then I was alone again. I learned of their ways and awaited our arrival." I was so excited having seen the original Alien, Aliens, and Aliens 3 with pops then later Prometheus. Went to the theater with high hopes after seeing this and felt just unforgettably disappointed that none of this was in the movie and then watching RLM's Half in the Bag episode on it. The fact that Rick and Morty had a trailer parodying the face huggers eggs for their season 3 trailer was just salt in an open wound. Now here I am 2.5 years later, still stressed out and wishing for what could have been; typing into the void of the UA-cam comments section. Like the film, I suspect this post will be of little note.
fully get you. there was so much hope after this trailer and introduction, and i felt so incredibly much exitement for the prospect of watching shaw and david explore, to pick up the same air of mythology that hung around prometheus as well - and then covenant happened. my only hope is that, maybe, in future films, they go back to the journey on the ship - maybe they did visit another place before, and only then set course to the planet we see in covenant. idk. i'm just incredibly disappointed if that was it
@@ricardo9733 Exactly. It seems most people cannot be bothered with the potential religious/historical concepts and other existential ideas surrounding the creation of mankind (and mankind's creation of artificial life,) they just want to watch a Xenomorph slaughter more space humans lol. I thought Prometheus was a huge breath of fresh air into the series, but then they scrapped like every cool thing about that movie just to go back to the dumbed down Xenomorph killing space humans again. I was not a huge fan of Covenant, but I wouldn't have minded a proper conclusion to David's story. Maybe he could experiment on the remaining Covenant crew with his new alien embryos to create a Queen Xenomorph that lays eggs while some rogue Engineer Space Jockey guy is hunting him down. It could end with an Engineer finally destroying David, but only after being impregnated by a facehugger, then the Engineer tries to dump the remaining eggs on some distant/vacant planet where they will hopefully never be found (LV-426) before an alien bursts through his chest. Then it would line up with how the first Alien film starts and they find him with a hole in his chest sitting on the ship full of eggs.
Agree, although it was full of discrepancies and weird absurdisms.. like the way Charlize Theron’s character died because she decided not to run to the side.. or the way the scientists were just extremely careless and got killed by a xenomorph d*k p*sy.. or the way Shaw begins to trust David with her life after he decided not to help her when she was pregnant with an alien (a bit too forgiving that one, no? Her bf just died and half crew members and she is like “I like David.. what a wonderful bloke”). Why did she decide to put David back together? He was perfectly fine and useful as he was.. why would she allow him to put her into cryo? Just full of ridiculous ideas.. Edris Elba f*ks Charlize Theron in the movie and they decided this was an important moment (to show her daddy issues?) but they cut out the most important dialogue which renders the whole film unexplained.. 🙄🙄🙄👀👀👀 weird decisions..
Notice the tears in David's eyes while bombarding the city- Possible outcomes. 1). Shaw died in hyper sleep and David reached an emotional pivot, then killing this engineer faction. 2). Engineers boarded the hijacked juggernaut, killed Shaw and pissed David off to the point of revenge. 3). Shaw is alive, right where David left her, and he became overprotective of her. 4). David learned of the engineers ways and became disgusted so much he kills this engineer race. 5). David's programming or Weyland's programming pushed him over the edge to destroy all life.
I was thinking that it might be option 4. David comes to judge them as worse than their creations and wipes out one of the largest concentrations of them.
I think David is just wiping them out so he can replace them with Xenomorphs. He is responsible for their creation by infecting the planet with black goo. That black goo infest the Covenant crew and we get Neo and Protomorphs. I'm guessing David uses their dna to further mutate Shaw into a Xenomorph queen and she starts laying the eggs we see in the trailer. She already gave birth to a facehugger in Prometheus. So technically, she's already a queen. Ironic, as she was unable to bare children, then to become a mother to thousands.
Laurie Bloemke So essentially David who can be thought of as the grandchild of the Engineers is usurping their role as creators. Basically saying I can do better than you by creating the perfect lifeform.
There's probably a reason why David emphasizes Shaw's compassion. Possibly because of what he learned about "their ways" so enraged him that, rather than have Shaw disappointed and/or to keep her safe, he decided to destroy the engineers. To protect the most compassionate human he's ever known, he leaves Shaw in hyper-sleep.
the only problem with covenant is that you completely DELETED the main characters of the MAIN movie of the new movies and brought random new characters. that messed up everything
After probably decades traveling to the creators' planet, David might have had time to experiment and create new concoctions with whatever substances he found inside the enormous ship... maybe some alien-making substance...
I think it's hilarious the twist they put on the now cliche invasion sequence. Instead of humans welcoming an alien to planet Earth only to be completely annihilated, it's a human (android) being welcomed by a bunch of aliens on their homeworld. David is the titular "ALIEN."
There may be an automated way to wake up but she doesn't know the language to figure it out. David could use that as collateral to make her reassemble him since he's the only one who can understand their language..
Numinous20111 Yeah, she needed David. She should've went back to Earth instead, and told them what happened, and saved herself. Her mission to find out why they wanted humanity wiped out, is pointless. Let's say she survived long enough to find out why. Who's she going to tell??? What good is that knowledge, if she's the only human being that knows it? When the engineers meet her, they'll likely try to finish the job that they started, and wipe out humanity. Their sure as shit, not going to let her leave, especially not back in their ship. (what great event happened 2,000 years ago???................Jesus! He was sent by the engineers, and look what happened. That's why the engineers are pissed!).
@@jeffwads6158 They are the ineptest scientists I've ever seen. They didn't even use common sense when exploring or taking samples, let alone standard protocols. I love the concept of these movies, and they are beautiful. Ridley Scott is definitely in my top five directors, but the writing/script is what is very poor. I've seen some alternate versions of the script that were much better, but if they'd have included more of what they cut or decided against, it would have made much more sense, along with having scientists that actually take precautions.
David quotes a section of the poem Ozymandias that was said to be engraved on a stone by the fallen king Ozymandias. The poem's theme is collapse from greatness so I find it odd that David would say this line. This is possibly foreshadowing by the writers of the demise of the crew following the bombing, or it could be David mocking the engineers by comparing them to Ozymandias.
and yes @Adam Fowler my money is on that this culture perished because it built such an efficient biological weapon, it managed to hijack the jockey race genetics. Kill Bee esque
Another reason why I do not think these are Engineers. Probably a creation by the Engineers like humans. You can also hear cheering in the background. They're probably excited or praising the Engineers for returning.
I never suggested any of that either. Just think they would have standard protocols for things like Juggernauts if they were Engineers. Also, if you have seen the recent images/videos released recently, you get to see a closeup of one of them and they do not look like Engineers. Probably a creation of the Engineers. Just my two cents. We'll find out on May 19.
Engineers are supposedly more intelligent than humans. It's just my rationalization. The logic behind it is the same reason why people are coming up with theories for the movie like " Shaw is an alien queen". It's something to do while we wait for it to come out. lol it's really not that deep, just what I think.
cannot believe shaw trusts it enough to send her off to sleep. "david" is pre "Ash" and ash was a twitchy model let alone an even earlier model like david
You know, David is an android so he could appear in later universe movies. Honestly would be happy with a Prometheus 3 but seeing him in another movie would be worth it no matter the time period.
ME TOO! I could NOT agree with you more! What in the WORLD is going on? Now with this "short" does it mean they're going to expand on THIS story and take us finally to this world, which in this short seems to be thriving? THIS is where they are saying the "creators" of the Human Race are!! What a fantastic idea for a story, I sincerely hope they are making THIS film! I have NO interest in ANOTHER Alien horror story! FFS!
SageMageFox If you're interested in stories about the the creators of the human race you should look into the Halo novels lol, entire books revolve around that concept.
It's so sad that this prologue was better than the film itself. I always said 'be careful what you wish for' when all the Xenomorph fanboys cried about Prometheus. You got what you wanted with Alien: Covenant which was devoid of any originality. Say what you want about Prometheus' numerous open ended questions, at least there was a genuine air of mystery about it unlike this film which directly pandered to fanboys crying on social media (don't take it from me, this is exactly what Ridley Scott said).
Probably people who wanted to see and learn more about the engineers will have their chance in the next movie which will be set between Prometheus and Alien Covenant.
Directors need to STOP listening to social media. Lucas sold off his baby because of Mr. Plinkett and Plinkett got exactly what he wanted, a Star Wars film directed by J.J. Abrams which was a true piece of garbage. And now Ridley makes the same mistake. Haters gonna hate and you don't take their whining seriously. Both Prometheus and the Star Wars prequels were visionary artistic works with the breath of life of a creator in them. Covenant is more stylish than Force Awakens, but both still have the air of corporately-produced mass-marketed product made for the lowest common denominator about them. In Covenant, it makes Ridley's forays into artsiness seem awkward, because they clearly don't fit with the slasher tone of the rest of the movie. And how many Alien movies are we going to get where a space crew descends onto a planet unexpectedly and finds a derelect ship and gets an alien infection? In Prometheus it was a nice mirror and homage but here it's just a retread.
Disagree, Prometheus was a mass of garbage and plot holes. No love for Shaw here nor any of the characters with the exception of Theron. I did enjoy covenant, but I would rather see Blomkamps ALien than another Ridley film.
***** it's just so brilliant & it's what I wanted to see in the sequel - so to cut it from the actual film would seem frustrating; such a waste of amazing footage.
I hope it isn't in the film, otherwise they've spoiled some good shit and there's another 7 minute prologue they've released that I DO NOT want to sit through again in the cinema
Prometheus was a film that was completely different to any of the Alien films, but it brought new horrors. The effects where fantastic, it was a film that needed a second part that never arrived!
Yeah. David don't play! I guess he never got over having his head ripped off and his creator murdered by the Engineer in "Prometheus". Pay back is a bitch!
Garrett Mahan you my good sir are correct. if you've seen the first movie you are automatically hooked n if this is your first time seeing anything to do with Prometheus, well then, welcome to what's going to be one of the top 10 movies of 2017
Noomi Rapace really does radiate the compassion it takes to repair David, as well as the visceral need to know who are these alien beings, the Engineers.
Good god I hope not, that would one of the most bland concepts to ever be placed in a Alien film. Having a human turn into the Xeno Queen is just degrading to the Xeno's. Though I will give it credit for somewhat trying to play tribute to one of Giger's work.
That "Engineers" on Paradise do not have any control (checking) / defence / emergency (or bunker) systems? It means that on planet live lower caste? But it opens new questions.
Maybe... they do not think they actually need it, since they are not aware that any other lifeforms, such as humans, has reached any level of technology nor intelligence to actually travel the stars. They could perhaps consider themselves to be the only real intelligent life in the galaxy. I suppose one can spin such questions and answers in many directions for all eternity. hehe
would you question airforce one landing in your country? You would expect Papa Trump inside, and not some crazy Android spraying black Xenojizz at your folks.
Only who is a fan, but a real fan of the franchise noticed the same soundtrack from movie Alien of 1979 while Elizabeth Shaw was waking up David... that's was amazing *_* lol
You're right though, Promethius looked pretty incredible. The plot was boring and fragmented and the whole thing was very pretentious, but it looked pretty schmick. That said I had a pretty good time with Covenant, it was much better paced and did a better job at both creepy and exciting. It was just in a different genre to the two originals, more action fantasy than scifi horror
gotmoney123fly Saw Prometheus in theater with my dad when it came out it was so great on the big screen and iv watched it high many times since then definitely a good movie to watch when your stoned with your friends and all they're minds are being blown.
Same here. I love Prometheus. Have seen it many times and will continue to. It's just a to darn good of a movie to stop watching it! So obviously I can not wait so badly to watch Covenant!! I have never done this for any other movie, I can't get over it.
killaka786 No, she helped create the alien queen. She had it removed in the last movie, and it grew into a giant squid monster, that killed the engineer that she was fighting. It then implanted itself into the engineer, which turned into a chest burster that came out of the engineers dead body, and made the alien queen.
Dr Shaw! such a likable character...I certainly hope she's alive somewhere, I wouldn't stand seeing her turned into an alien queen, she deserves a more honorable fate...
i think her being the first alien queen would make her role that much more important to the saga, and also get back at the engineers for being such jerks
David: She put me back together. I never experience such compassion ... so I opened her up and tore her apart. Weyland Corp. Customer Service: Weyland Corp., may I help you? Customer: Hi, I have a question about your product David 8. He is dissecting our dog. Is that a bug or a feature?
Like father. Like son. If you don't understand David's character you clearly weren't paying any attention to Peter Weyland and his megalomaniacal god complex.
From the comments I read, it doesn't seem like this is what the movie is going to be. I believe that this was the route the director wanted to go but instead the producers threw that out and went with what we have now as alien:covenant
While he was alone and learned about their ways.. David judged they are evil because of what they did to him and the rest of the crew. He felt guilty about his betrayal to Shaw and promised her to help her find the makers, but it was a farce all along, his mind was already made up to kill them all. Listen to his voice when he says "Our arrival..". I hear a lot of anger..
he likely found out that trying to contact them and ask them questions was actually useless, and since he knew that the engineers were always going to try to destroy humans if they ever discover our race was actually making progress, David decided to wipe them out and avoid such fate.
Tool Time why do the engineers hate us so much? Someone told me it's because an engineer did come back and visit us. And we crucified him... (Jesus) sounds about right haha 😂😂
Hard call. I'll admit, at the end of Prometheus I rather hoped Shaw and David would find and bombard the Engineers with the same bio weapon they had in store for us. But then, after seeing the movie again more recently and remembering the Engineer in Prometheus had been in cryosleep for 2000 years, I did wonder if perhaps the Engineer society could have changed in those 2000 years. Maybe moving away from being the sinister group so fond of bioweapons, having a regime change, ect. Changing into something more peaceful. 2000 years ago here, empires and barbarian groups warred and committed mass slaughter frequently. Things aren't perfect now, but there's been improvements. Could Davids decision have been wrong after all? Granted, if he was right and he/Shaw did nothing, they would have paid Earth an unfriendly little visit and that would have been it for humanity. Of course, there's speculation the people down there weren't 'true' Engineers. Further, Davids motivations may not be justice, vengeance, or protecting humanity...but perhaps something sinister in their own right. He's a bit of a psychopath even for an android. Anyways, can't wait to see the movie!
It's also possible that they are not engineers. The engineers in Prometheus were tall, jacked as shit and had beautiful, round faces. The image about the "new engineers" that circulates on the internet shows them as deformed, ugly humanlike creatures. Maybe they were created by the engineers just like the humans were. Remember the cave drawings on Earth? I guess the engineers visited these ugly people too after creating them. Maybe they gathered and cheered because they believed that their God has returned.
I'm thinking I'd rather have 2 hours of this instead of what I expect Covenant will be. For me, the big draw to _Prometheus_ was in how it was set in the same universe but the egg/facehugger/xenomorph wasn't the pivoting point. Plus, there's a beautiful simplicity to having a story with just two protagonists. Especially when one of them is played by Fassbender.
YES!!! That was the major flaw with it's film. The first teaser was hinting hard at Xeno's. Don't get me wrong Prometheus is a decent Science Fiction film.
Honestly have no idea what similarities you see here hehe. I could say 2 hours of Passengers already exists, it's call Sunshine. Or 2 hours of Sunshine already exists, it's called Event Horizon. What exactly is your point lmao.
Vitruvius Antarchius the best kind of capitalism. The kind where Americans gave such a good quality of life, they can afford to get involved in the problems of lesser nations and help them in events such as natural disasters or preventing genocide. We all know the commy nations won't unless there's a chance they can turn them commy.
Really? Care to explain, how the so bankrupt USSR managed to launch first satellite into space just 12 years after winning the most bloody war in history of mankind, which ravaged mostly on Russian plains? Also, your apple and microsoft transnational corporations use planned economy indoors, copying Stalin's economy, but using it for greedy corporational interests. It is not socialism bankrupting countries, it is capitalist third world exploitation.
I hope Shaw survives in this movie. And they find her in near the end, still sleeping. Idk what would happen from there. But Shaw has to live or I'm going to be really sad of her character build up in Prometheus.
Mike K. I think he might just leave her asleep and then be like "sadly when we arrived they seemed to have died... Oh well" maybe not exactly that but idk David has no real reason to hate shaw and I don't believe he does
The sequel to Prometheus would have been perfect if it showed David and Shaw exploring this strange and bizarre Alien world, we don't even need explanations, something a la Giger - Art in Motion. But no, instead we are going to have another bug hunt ad infinitum.
The movie may not have lived up to the hype but wow does this trailer does set the mood. This scene of the ship arriving to the engineers home world and opening the gates of hell upon them is so well achieved. You can feel all the sounds and visuals, so eerie, sinister. This being playing god over the beings that may well be the gods of his creators.
Perfect, thanks this was driving me bananas. David is ambitious if he can rule the Engineers then he will become the superior life form. We got all of this and more on Alien Day in the theaters. The action is there but it is done tastefully and was not silly. My anticipation is high for this film.
Another perfect fitting Jurassic Park quote for this movie-“Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running..and screaming.”-Dr. Ian Malcolm
They left the part of the story out in the movie where David wept for Elizabeth. His convoluted sense of discovery and creation mixed with the understanding for human emotion led him to using her actual body parts to create the many monsters we see today. He did that with the ritualistic sense that every positive experiment was a tribute to her memory and very being. The scary unnerving part is knowing that David is a self sustained A.I. system incapable of stopping. He will see through to his demise every possible outcome. Much like his creator. And much like his savior. Weyland and Shaw.
I always thought the discovered she was dying from the c sec pod incident on their journey but due to them growing close David tried to save her by putting her in crypto only to discover not a technologically advanced species but religious zealots etc. With no cure Shaw passes but David knows her goal was to be able to create life from the beginning. So in his twisted way he uses her remains to do that.
EpiclyLost I think that's what the writers want you to think. But some people's opinions "Humans created God. Not the other way around". I think that's why it's so hard to figure the story line out.
I keep playing it over and over, it is the one piece that truly is a view beyond prometheus and one where we see our surviving heroine alive and well. One where we see David showing compassion and care. This along with the melancholic alien tune, make it precious to me.
It's very interesting how he explains that he never was shown such compassion from anyone besides her because in the end he looks at what he 'gave' her as a gift. She gave him a new life so he returned the favor in a sense.
From what I can draw, when he talked about learning of their ways on the trip there, I think he realized that he had to destroy them in order to save humanity. That's why he had all of the bio weapon prepared and made the quote. It may turn out that he learned the engineers are worse than the xenomorphs.
This is exceptional!! Finally answers what happened after the end of Prometheus. Fantastic short with a wonderfully haunting, dark & lonely atmosphere.
I REALLY love this version of Alien's theme from 0:42 . It sounded melancholic, lonely, and somber. If only someday we could get our hands on this track.
@@seanwhitehall4652 , yes, it's from ALIEN COVENANT where the poor guy gets infected by spores resulting in the backbuster, and the destruction of the dropship.
In the paradise film they used the chestburster sound clip from covenenant for the above sequence which was played just before discovering Shaw's grave: ua-cam.com/video/UP5NzyaGZxM/v-deo.html
Sorry I was commenting what comes before, "And then I was alone again... I learned of their ways... and awaited", not finding like this in the Seven Pillars though ... But the tone is here ! Didn't get the Ozymandias reference, well done Elias Anderson & daniel woods ! (was looking for something from Milton instead)
Ridley is no fool, he knows what he's doing. In this passage there is no spoiler, I still have a lot of questions. We are waiting for an epic and of course awful adventure.
weather or not this film would be successful... I want to praise Michael Fassbender for playing his role as David the android .and the walter android.....he really fits the role in this film .
Evil? I think you overlook what David might have learned about the Engineers and their intentions to a greater depth during his journey there and realised the only course of action upon arrival.
Honestly, like some people who commented I would have preferred a proper Prometheus 2. David, Shaw, and the Engineers should have been the focus. It should have had its own monsters. What was the point of introducing the Deacon without doing anything with it? David and Shaw's adventure could have easily been the basis for an entire movie, since that is what Prometheus directly set up. THEN it could have been followed up with a somewhat more traditional Alien film like Covenant , serving as the bridge between the Prometheus series and the original Alien, forming a complete trilogy. It was a missed opportunity
Well, maybe that's what the next film will be. Maybe there could be some flashback sequences with Shaw and David. I think Scott mentioned that Engineers and David would be a primary focus in the next film, and be less xenomorph heavy.
So Blade Runner 2049 giving us a Conestoga class assault ship, Proves Aliens is still set 2079 gives you a new film order, Covenant the first film of the 22nd century, Then David turned the Covenant around and headed back to Earth, Movie Earth War.
She put me back together. I'd never seen such compassion in a guman before.
I then repaid her kindness by eviscerating her body and scavenging the remains to create horrific genetic experiments.
A warning for a.i.

@@David-Field.Stuff01 Wait what do you mean?
Exactly
David: "We were finally going to meet our creators"...you already met them and they unscrewed your head
right
David's creator died in Prometheus.
Kevin Davis The creator of my creator is also my creator I guess lol
LOL... to be fair, its already known that the Engineers are not humanity creators, theyre kind of like our older brothers, aparently they were also created by the same race we were, thats why they wanted to kill us!
Older brothers, would make sense. Remember in the beginning God made Man, not woman. Which is why all the engineers seem to be male. Not male, but simply human.
Shaw was so great character in the Alien universe... Miss her.
She should have been in the sequel. Would have been better if David avenged her rather than dissected her...
She wasn't much for me in Peometheus but she was getting there, killing her was a blasted mistake
I know right? I remember watching Alien Covenant and being totally surprised at the start of the movie when I realized it was actually a sequel to Prometheus with Michael Fassbender's "David" and Guy Pearce's "Weyland" characters being in the introduction. I got really excited to see Shaw repairing David and dealing with the new Deacon alien roaming around LV-223, then exploring the universe and trying to find out more about the Engineers and their motives behind creating and potentially destroying mankind... But instead we got a new crew of a new ship while Shaw apparently died offscreen between movies... I was glad Michael Fassbender was back and reprising his role (as well as taking on the role of the other android,) but the story was really not very good in my opinion. I was hoping to at least get a conclusion to David's story, or maybe a new Ridley Scott film exploring the Engineer Space Jockey guys some more, but now I see this trailer for Alien Romulus and it seems all hope is lost lol.
Reboot this trash into something more like Prometheus one
The actress was dope!
I know that this isn't a popular opinion, but I quite enjoyed Prometheus.
I agree Jonathan, I had no problems with Prometheus.. I think it was pretty interesting. So many conceded people these days who have no appreciation for any art form, be it film, music, painting, or writing. I find that most people who are critical have never had a creative thought in their entire life.
While I did also enjoy Prometheus there were some pretty big plot holes and character actions that didn't make sense
Frank McGuire Thats the point of it. the ambiguity left so many people wanting more
The characters admittedly made foolish choices, but the fact that a film left us with so many questions proves that the film was just THAT good. Would you really want a film that reveals all its mysteries prior to a credit roll?
I thought it was awesome! I can't believe it didn't do to well in the box office.

Its definitely Resurrection-tier. I too wish the prometheus story(planned series) went better.@@grizzlywhisker
Why can't the whole movie be about these two exploring.
Sounds boring as fuck.
Because that would be something we would all watch...
Edward Young Jr. it was they changed it
Because after he drops the accelerant onto the city, there would be nothing left to explore.
Yeah Edward...that would pay the bills.
Creators of humanity wiped out by a creation of humanity. Poetic really.
ToySouljah. i know right its like this centuries problem with nuclear bombs
There are 2 races of Engineers: Creators and Destroyers. David came on the ship to base of the Destroyers to bomb them, cause they(Destroyers) have got plans to bomb the Earth to kill the creation of the Creators.
Creators was on other type of ships (beggining of Prometheus). I guess that Destroyers were using Juggernaut type of the ships. Thats why in end of Prometheus David and Shaw could go to their (Destroyers) homeworld, cause the location of their planet was in the navigation system of the Juggernaut. But then they didn't yet know that there was two factions of Engineers. David found that out later on the ship on the way to Paradise, while Shaw was sleeping. Thats why he made decission to bomb them.
how do you know all that?
Kristo, i didn't saw it. Waiting for May 17th to go to Aliens Night. Iam using info currently known about the movie adding a bit of imagination.
They could've made an entire movie about David and Shaw
They could build up their friendship and then later in the movie create conflict by having Shaw find out about how David poisoned and killed her husband
Or first have David and Shaw land and interact with the Engineers
And as the movie progresses we are shown how David comes to the conclusion of killing the engineers
There are endless possibilities to creating a great story about them , and I would definitely pay to watch a film exploring this idea
Frank Underwood Right?! Thats the kind of movie I wanted! Plus a fist fight. David needs his ass whoop
still agree to this 💯
This would've been so much better than alien convenant... It was just another generic alien movie where the crew dies in spaceship from "unknown" organism, it was garbage... not to mention the casting team was pathetic.
Exactly, the addition of the Engineers rejuvenated the Alien universe, and then they were suddenly excised. I would have like to see Shaw meet them for some kind of explanation.
Defo agree to that
I’ve never known such kindness from a human. That being said, the things I’m going to do to her are horrific in the extreme.
thats the scary thing about AI, they might simply not have empathy. It may just be irrelevant, not hate, just immense indefference to discomfort or suffering of humans. Shaw helped him, but that might simply not mean anything to a robot(i know hes not written this way but imagine a real AI) Im not sure whats scarier, a human trying to hurt you, or something that simply needs something from you and is completely indeferrent to what you are feeling, like nazi science experiments on steroids
I feel that the way Shaw ended up in this movie was such a disservice to her character
gotzn0name Fuckin oath mate, was hoping she would wake up in the end and carry on her search but nope, butchered.

@@joyoptimal6286 If you don't liked Prometheus then maybe (duh) you should watch the Alien movies prior to it..!!
@@miniwaern I have seen all of them. That is why I said the prometheus sequel was total crap. No story building of where the engineers came from or their planet or none of that. It was a total waste, killed the lead character of the new sequel and built nothing really.
THIS looks more promising than the other trailers we have seen. It almost looks like an entirely different movie. I know, this is the movie I want to see not the other one.
pity it will be only few minutes and rest of movie crap
man totally agree. Maybe it is in the end the movie we all see.
Al Robins couldn't have said it better, THIS is what my mind pictured , now I'm just curious about the explanation of the difference in the engineer's appearances
oh yeah, now after all the alien fanboys bitched about Prometheus, and Ridely Scott changed it because of them, you bitch about this repetitive movie.
Yeah I don't want to see the 'Kenny Powers in Space' movie either.
Now, THIS is the movie I want to see!!
Definitley
Tiffany King I still have no idea what's happening
Adam Nelson same here
It's so much more interesting than the standard alien story the previous trailers had made us expect. :)
Shaw and David set off for the Engineer's home world. Shaw goes into cryosleep for the journey and David spends all that time (several years possibly) learning about the Engineers and their ways. Whatever he learns is enough for him to decide to bomb the Engineers with the same stuff they wanted to drop on us in Prometheus. The result of that event is probably what our Covenant crew will encounter but I'm personally interested in what David and Shaw learn and do once they arrive at the Engineer planet. It's nice to see humans (and our creations) with the upper hand for a moment.
A frustrating waste of Noomi Rapace/Elizabeth Shaw... this entire prologue is more promising than the film itself.
This prologue is better than the movie. Sad.
Thank the current political correctness push! The entirety of HOLLYWOOD has allowed its self be corrupted by its plague! Every movie that has be released in the past 8 years has been nothing but trash as a result!
@@La-familia-de-Fazio I personally blame bad script and focus on oversimplifying the movies.
Completely agree. How great would it have been if this prologue (expanded of course) had been the basis for the sequel to Prometheus. Show us how David and Shaw interacted with each other on their way to wherever it was they were going. Show us what the alien world where they arrived was like prior to David's annihilation of the planet. Maybe give us a glimpse into David's psyche as an android with a lack of any kind of conscience at all. What made him motivated to bring so much suffering and death to an entire population of engineers? Instead, the whole movie felt forced. Another ship full of people going off course to investigate a signal. Characters who were caricatures or puppets controlled in such a way that almost all of their decisions seemed disingenuous and downright stupid. And the off screen elimination of the most interesting and deep character from Prometheus...the only one worth following. I think that was the most disrespectful aspect of Alien: Covenant.
It was entirely a mistake to scrap Elizabeth Shaw. I hope someone decides to step in and revive Prometheus into a broader story for all of us who were told it would be "Episodic."
Noomi rapace did not deserve to be killed off like that. I had a huge crush on her when prometheus came out and while I was crushed they killed her off and she didnt explore any of what prometheus set up, I was more sad about not being able to see her play shaw and give more life to the character, she was stunning
I think it was mainly the fans. I think Prometheus was supposed to be something new and original but many Alien fans complained because they expected an action packed movie like the other Alien movies so maybe that pressured the team to follow the franchises footsteps while making Alien Covenant. Would have been great if they carried the prometheus story on because later people started to appreciate it a lot more.
@@prometheus6898 The Prometheus franchise was doomed to fail from the start. The original franchise should've ended with Aliens. I actually don't mind Alien 3. There is a good movie there despite what people say. The fourth should've never existed, and neither should the two that followed it. I cannot stand the Prometheus franchise and I'm glad it's fucking dead.
Hm as a Swede myself and a fan of her I think she played/acted rather poorly.
ok, um, Noomi isn't the one being killed. you understand that, right? it's the character Elizabeth Shaw, not Noomi Rapace. got it? no? oh well, I tried.
@@PatkaBoy831 edgy. bet having you around at parties is fun
Is it bad I'm more interested in the Engineer home world than the rest of the movie?
Nah m8, me too. I only wish they'd show us a bit more about them. So sad...... :(
well its a good thing that's what the movie was about ^^
Alex FRD No I feel the same.
I was really worried about the environment the colonists disturbed rather than them dying. All about David's scrolls, specimens records... Being destroyed was much of a concern for me rather than the gore, most of the time. It shows how much I would rather dive into David and Shaw's story than covenant.
i was more interested in the space pirate homeworld
I feel like this footage was meant to be the whole sequel 'Paradise' but for whatever reason they changed direction totally. Kiiind of a shame, this looks like it would be an awesome movie
Yeah a whole movie about the world of Engineers would've been interesting!
SilverStrumer It would of. Big time.
I had the same feeling. This looks waaayy more intriguing than Covenant
well, I dont see how a movie about a person and an android exploring the engineer's home land would be interesting and suitable in a alien universe. It would make more sense to make alien covenant since we can (hopefully) see bits and pieces of their lifestyle by reference from the surroundings while also able to introduce the alien and horror components
I never saw Prometheus (still want to tho) and I got into Alien a little late so I'm behind on all the info. But it's not like a sequel is completely out of the question. Maybe "Paradise" (I'm assuming that's what the Prometheus sequel was) can be the next movie?
I would watch a movie with just David and Elizabeth in the ship, that ended with this scene.
ilovelamp22 Passergers
I was thinking the same thing, they could have shown them searching through the ship discovering all kinds of things, then they could arrive at the planet in the end... brilliant... like they could make us hate the engineers and cheer David when they get there... show them building the pyramids and enslaving humans or whatever, then wiping out the Mayans,,, where do I get my ticket for that movie?
Dern Vader 'Star Gate'
I was so hyped for this film, a year on & I'm just getting over the disappointment. There was a website called Promethus 2 which publicised any news on the film, at one time they were certain it would be called Paradise, with the 2 surviving characters going into the Engineers home world. I was so excited with the possibilities that this story may bring & instead we had the most moronic, forgettable crew being offed like they were in some sort of teenage slasher film, i.e. Scream.
Dern Vader that is a great idea. They could have used the Sumerian mythology as a basis that the engineers created humans to be slaves, but when the 'programming' a.k.a. religion didn't take, they decided to wipe humans out, thus causing David to have a new found respect and empathy for humans and deciding to create his own life form that uses the engineers own tool (black goo) against them, like a poetic justice, creating a dangerous and unstoppable life form that is only born from humans. Voila...Alien: Covenant. Covenant being a biblical term where God made a pact with Humans but then we broke it. This would have made more sense when he dropped the goo on them. He looked angry and vengeful in that scene like he discovered a horrible truth and possibly didn't want to tell Shaw, because it would make her unravel. Or they did learn it together and she did unravel. So she could have killed herself or given up somehow and he had to watch her deteriorate. Since her faith would have been gone, committing suicide would not have phased her anymore. That would have been a better movie......the only plothole with this is that she wanted to know who made the engineers. What if that was a somehow even more disappointment that broke her. Also, the black goo could have come from some weird black hole and the engineers somehow found a way to harness it. Idk. Just throwing this out there. How else would an insane robot with a God complex and new found emotions be able to cheer up a severely depressed human going thru the mother of an existential crisis? The Sumerian mythology is the equivalent to finding out humans are basically the result of high school seniors fukn around with their science kits, trying to come up with some epic project that wins the science fair top prize, to raise money for the school because they were too lazy to bake cookies.😂
I'm just now seeing this for the first time... about 6 years too late. This should have been part of the actual movie.
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! "
The meaning of this poem in itself pretty much explains why David did what he did.
Template so I'm assuming David wipes the engineers out right?
Would you explain this a little? I read the Wikipedia article on the poem and I'm not seeing how the poem is an explanation of David's actions. I'm terrible at understanding poems though.
The popular interpretation of the poem is it being about the decline of great people and civilisations, despite the great things they have achieved. Presumably, this is what David is going to demonstrate to everyone.
nothing lasts, not even the great "works" of the "king of kings" - perhaps in this context, the engineers.
I felt really cheated by the way they handled Shaw's story. The character deserved much better and a whole purpose of visiting the engineers planet was wasted. Very disappointing.
Well that's Ridley Scott for you. His imagination just isn't there any more. Should have let James Cameron handle the rest of the movies.
@@MaxximumRage Ridley Scott had a perfect sequel originally planned, and then he and the studio caved to executive pressure because everyone hated Prometheus, even though it's actually the best movie in the entire franchise. People wanted more big scary alien ripping people apart, and so that's what they got and they still weren't happy.
Yep, blame the mind-numbing masses who complained that Prometheus was too slow and complicated.

Charlie and Dr. Shaw were married. Wedding bands and all.
Technically, Weyland did all that. But now he's dead.
I like how David's "red to red, green to green"-line refers back to "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". Makes it sound so ominous, like he plans to kill her there and then. Or it's the burial of morals altogether. Nice touch!

Kerian Halcyon you are an idiot. There are many different people with different opinions who watched the movie. Some people enjoyed it, and others didnt - the ones that didnt complained more about it than the ones that enjoyed it talked about it. Its response bias

dulez ninjaman because shaw is in it
Because it conveys inspired ideas. But that's not really a safe bet for putting butts in seats. To achieve this, you need "money shots" and tropes, i.e. loud noises, people screaming, explosions and scary monsters, and let's face it, the xenomorph is iconic and pretty much guarantees 100 million at the box office. The main trailers have a purpose to serve. Let's just hope he prologue is more indicative of the bulk of this new movie.
dulez ninjaman You're a fucking idiot
Ageed. I'd much prefer to see a film about the Engineers than the xenomorphs
I so vividly remember when this trailer/this video was only hours old as I came home from school and track and field practice, stressed out for AP tests and the SATs junior year and being absolutely enamored with David's delivery of Ozymandius's epitaph and his character in general. Having replayed it over and over again just for Fassbender's monologue "And then I was alone again. I learned of their ways and awaited our arrival." I was so excited having seen the original Alien, Aliens, and Aliens 3 with pops then later Prometheus. Went to the theater with high hopes after seeing this and felt just unforgettably disappointed that none of this was in the movie and then watching RLM's Half in the Bag episode on it. The fact that Rick and Morty had a trailer parodying the face huggers eggs for their season 3 trailer was just salt in an open wound. Now here I am 2.5 years later, still stressed out and wishing for what could have been; typing into the void of the UA-cam comments section. Like the film, I suspect this post will be of little note.
fully get you. there was so much hope after this trailer and introduction, and i felt so incredibly much exitement for the prospect of watching shaw and david explore, to pick up the same air of mythology that hung around prometheus as well - and then covenant happened. my only hope is that, maybe, in future films, they go back to the journey on the ship - maybe they did visit another place before, and only then set course to the planet we see in covenant. idk. i'm just incredibly disappointed if that was it
I too was disappointed. We can only hope that future alien films take that more bold direction, regardless of what others say.
I just rewatched Prometheus as I was too young to fully enjoy it when it came out and now after looking into what came next I wish I hadn't.
bro ur so passionate about these movies , i am deeply imprrssed
@@tylerdurdenthethird1796 We've had the original movies since we were kids; we have high expectations for them
Shaw and David are really the heart of these newer Alien films. Their complicated relationship is more interesting than the alien parts.
Agreed. It would have been great if it lasted more than one film.
@@jeremycarl2401 and now alien romulus doesn’t look promising just the same all over again
@@ricardo9733 Exactly. It seems most people cannot be bothered with the potential religious/historical concepts and other existential ideas surrounding the creation of mankind (and mankind's creation of artificial life,) they just want to watch a Xenomorph slaughter more space humans lol. I thought Prometheus was a huge breath of fresh air into the series, but then they scrapped like every cool thing about that movie just to go back to the dumbed down Xenomorph killing space humans again. I was not a huge fan of Covenant, but I wouldn't have minded a proper conclusion to David's story. Maybe he could experiment on the remaining Covenant crew with his new alien embryos to create a Queen Xenomorph that lays eggs while some rogue Engineer Space Jockey guy is hunting him down. It could end with an Engineer finally destroying David, but only after being impregnated by a facehugger, then the Engineer tries to dump the remaining eggs on some distant/vacant planet where they will hopefully never be found (LV-426) before an alien bursts through his chest. Then it would line up with how the first Alien film starts and they find him with a hole in his chest sitting on the ship full of eggs.
Agree, although it was full of discrepancies and weird absurdisms.. like the way Charlize Theron’s character died because she decided not to run to the side.. or the way the scientists were just extremely careless and got killed by a xenomorph d*k p*sy.. or the way Shaw begins to trust David with her life after he decided not to help her when she was pregnant with an alien (a bit too forgiving that one, no? Her bf just died and half crew members and she is like “I like David.. what a wonderful bloke”). Why did she decide to put David back together? He was perfectly fine and useful as he was.. why would she allow him to put her into cryo? Just full of ridiculous ideas.. Edris Elba f*ks Charlize Theron in the movie and they decided this was an important moment (to show her daddy issues?) but they cut out the most important dialogue which renders the whole film unexplained.. 🙄🙄🙄👀👀👀 weird decisions..
Complicated? He straight up bisected her for shits and giggles. That’s just evil, no complication about it
Notice the tears in David's eyes while bombarding the city- Possible outcomes. 1). Shaw died in hyper sleep and David reached an emotional pivot, then killing this engineer faction. 2). Engineers boarded the hijacked juggernaut, killed Shaw and pissed David off to the point of revenge. 3). Shaw is alive, right where David left her, and he became overprotective of her. 4). David learned of the engineers ways and became disgusted so much he kills this engineer race. 5). David's programming or Weyland's programming pushed him over the edge to destroy all life.
6/ David is jewish and multicutural
I like! His name is David after all
I was thinking that it might be option 4. David comes to judge them as worse than their creations and wipes out one of the largest concentrations of them.
I think David is just wiping them out so he can replace them with Xenomorphs. He is responsible for their creation by infecting the planet with black goo. That black goo infest the Covenant crew and we get Neo and Protomorphs. I'm guessing David uses their dna to further mutate Shaw into a Xenomorph queen and she starts laying the eggs we see in the trailer. She already gave birth to a facehugger in Prometheus. So technically, she's already a queen. Ironic, as she was unable to bare children, then to become a mother to thousands.
Laurie Bloemke So essentially David who can be thought of as the grandchild of the Engineers is usurping their role as creators. Basically saying I can do better than you by creating the perfect lifeform.
There's probably a reason why David emphasizes Shaw's compassion. Possibly because of what he learned about "their ways" so enraged him that, rather than have Shaw disappointed and/or to keep her safe, he decided to destroy the engineers. To protect the most compassionate human he's ever known, he leaves Shaw in hyper-sleep.
Maybe the Engineers directly or indirectly cause Shaw's death during the trip, and David's drops the goo bombs because he's pissed and wants revenge.
That.... Actually makes a lot of sense. And add in his tendency to play God. Hmmm... Good point you made.
That's quite likely the case. Noomi Rapace is returning, but probably only for this brief intro...
I'm thinking the same.
Gene O'Brien He's going to use her womb to make more aliens, duh.
the only problem with covenant is that you completely DELETED the main characters of the MAIN movie of the new movies and brought random new characters. that messed up everything
And where's James Franco? Covenant sold only cos of him in trailers and teasers
@@DamianNeubauer he dies at the start of the movie
Even worse is that the new main character, the girl with cringe haircut, is an atrocious actress that can't act
I'm pissed off that none of the scenes with Dr Shaw and David on the ship together were in the film
That is half the bliss with good trailers though; using scene not to advertise a film, but to extend it in a meaningful, and human way.
Congrats: You just found out the definition of a fucking Prologue.
This was part of a marketing campaign. They did similiar scenes for Prometheus also. Like young Weyland talking in some conference
android sex --,
David is gay bro
"Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair..."
now David is playing being God.
scary, when you remember, as David commented on the engineers death in Prometheus "at least they are mortal" David is a heck of a genius :D
Flavio Muñoz that is from ozymandias?
yes it is
After probably decades traveling to the creators' planet, David might have had time to experiment and create new concoctions with whatever substances he found inside the enormous ship... maybe some alien-making substance...
Yes, and that experiment is called E. SHAW.
I think it's hilarious the twist they put on the now cliche invasion sequence. Instead of humans welcoming an alien to planet Earth only to be completely annihilated, it's a human (android) being welcomed by a bunch of aliens on their homeworld. David is the titular "ALIEN."
This was as stupid as killing Hicks and Newt off screen. To have the survivor of Prometheus killed basically offscreen was moronic.
I know right? Sooooo lame.
It made sense in the plot at least. David was evil as fuck and already murdered her hubby by feeding him black goo and turning him into a monster.
If I was shaw I would never have reassembled David. Leave him as a disembodied head. Retain his intelligence for advice but keep him restricted.
she probably needs him to wake her up from cryosleep
doubl3m1nt surely there must be some automated way to wake yourself up from something like that lol
There may be an automated way to wake up but she doesn't know the language to figure it out. David could use that as collateral to make her reassemble him since he's the only one who can understand their language..
Numinous20111 Yeah, she needed David. She should've went back to Earth instead, and told them what happened, and saved herself. Her mission to find out why they wanted humanity wiped out, is pointless. Let's say she survived long enough to find out why. Who's she going to tell??? What good is that knowledge, if she's the only human being that knows it? When the engineers meet her, they'll likely try to finish the job that they started, and wipe out humanity. Their sure as shit, not going to let her leave, especially not back in their ship. (what great event happened 2,000 years ago???................Jesus! He was sent by the engineers, and look what happened. That's why the engineers are pissed!).
I agree, but she had to have him to get to the creator's planet... There was no other option for her.
David: "Whoopsie-do, here comes the goo!!!"
Oh Lord! here comes the xenomorph!
Spoiler : David will touch every buttons he found.
Cahyo Prabowo I bet.
will also insert key on every key hole he finds!!!
And stick fingers in ALL the drinks!
0:25 Yeah, maybe put it in her "water" !
Prometheus is my favourite sci fi film and Noomi Rapace did a stellar job. I really wanted to see a sequel with her as the lead.
Jesus Christ, watch more sci-fi.
Visually it is amazing, but the script and writing is poor at best.
Why are you telling our lord what to do
I enjoyed it a lot
@@jeffwads6158 They are the ineptest scientists I've ever seen. They didn't even use common sense when exploring or taking samples, let alone standard protocols. I love the concept of these movies, and they are beautiful. Ridley Scott is definitely in my top five directors, but the writing/script is what is very poor. I've seen some alternate versions of the script that were much better, but if they'd have included more of what they cut or decided against, it would have made much more sense, along with having scientists that actually take precautions.
David quotes a section of the poem Ozymandias that was said to be engraved on a stone by the fallen king Ozymandias. The poem's theme is collapse from greatness so I find it odd that David would say this line. This is possibly foreshadowing by the writers of the demise of the crew following the bombing, or it could be David mocking the engineers by comparing them to Ozymandias.
Adam Fowler WOW you a nerd.
ok
I think its the latter, appropiate words to an species downfall.
He's not a nerd, lol I remembered the Poem because it was used on Breaking Bad. :P
and yes @Adam Fowler my money is on that this culture perished because it built such an efficient biological weapon, it managed to hijack the jockey race genetics. Kill Bee esque
What did the engineers not have a screening process for planet entry? Cmon haha
Another reason why I do not think these are Engineers. Probably a creation by the Engineers like humans. You can also hear cheering in the background. They're probably excited or praising the Engineers for returning.
E.T. Go Home ~ Good point, would explain why there's a centralized docking station.
We actually saw at least two Engineers in Prometheus. More if you count the deleted scenes.
I never suggested any of that either. Just think they would have standard protocols for things like Juggernauts if they were Engineers. Also, if you have seen the recent images/videos released recently, you get to see a closeup of one of them and they do not look like Engineers. Probably a creation of the Engineers. Just my two cents. We'll find out on May 19.
Engineers are supposedly more intelligent than humans. It's just my rationalization. The logic behind it is the same reason why people are coming up with theories for the movie like " Shaw is an alien queen". It's something to do while we wait for it to come out. lol it's really not that deep, just what I think.
David unleashes the REAL MOAB - Mother Of All Bombs, circa 2093
more like MOAV....mother of all virus
Black Goo Matters
I'd watch a 3 hour movie of David and Shaw
Why David look like he boutta drop the hottest mixtape of 2093?
Silver Akstilettos something was dropping but it ain't about to be no Mixtape.
Silver Akstilettos 2103*
lol, cause he got so bored how long it took to get there he decided it was time for a rave party to celebrate his arrival
something is about to drop alright. but it aint no mix tape
Oh, there will be some mixing. Just not the musical kind.
Noomi Rapace looks pretty with large hair!!
I love her as well as Katherine.
They're both so yammy. cute pussies.
sadly she is a short part in the movie
I wonder what happens to her ?
CRAIG WORKMAN she becomes another test subject... 😈
impregnated by David and gives birth to Ripley's alien hybrid
David at it again lol
cannot believe shaw trusts it enough to send her off to sleep. "david" is pre "Ash" and ash was a twitchy model let alone an even earlier model like david
Santana Gonçalvea 😂😂😂😂💀
John Cusick
We just see a clip. Maybe travel took a long time and there was little food.
You know, David is an android so he could appear in later universe movies. Honestly would be happy with a Prometheus 3 but seeing him in another movie would be worth it no matter the time period.
This is the movie I wanted, not another generic aliens movie.
Oh aliens kill people, I've seen it 5 times already...
ME TOO! I could NOT agree with you more! What in the WORLD is going on? Now with this "short" does it mean they're going to expand on THIS story and take us finally to this world, which in this short seems to be thriving? THIS is where they are saying the "creators" of the Human Race are!! What a fantastic idea for a story, I sincerely hope they are making THIS film! I have NO interest in ANOTHER Alien horror story! FFS!
SageMageFox
If you're interested in stories about the the creators of the human race you should look into the Halo novels lol, entire books revolve around that concept.
uttblackboard preach
YES! YES! YES! I really hope we get this and not just people being picked off in a ship.
Cool Youssef, I had no idea!!! Thanks, I will!
It's so sad that this prologue was better than the film itself. I always said 'be careful what you wish for' when all the Xenomorph fanboys cried about Prometheus. You got what you wanted with Alien: Covenant which was devoid of any originality. Say what you want about Prometheus' numerous open ended questions, at least there was a genuine air of mystery about it unlike this film which directly pandered to fanboys crying on social media (don't take it from me, this is exactly what Ridley Scott said).
Not funny dude, not funny. All that wasted talent, so sad.
Probably people who wanted to see and learn more about the engineers will have their chance in the next movie which will be set between Prometheus and Alien Covenant.
agreed, and covenant was pretty disappointing.
Directors need to STOP listening to social media. Lucas sold off his baby because of Mr. Plinkett and Plinkett got exactly what he wanted, a Star Wars film directed by J.J. Abrams which was a true piece of garbage. And now Ridley makes the same mistake. Haters gonna hate and you don't take their whining seriously. Both Prometheus and the Star Wars prequels were visionary artistic works with the breath of life of a creator in them. Covenant is more stylish than Force Awakens, but both still have the air of corporately-produced mass-marketed product made for the lowest common denominator about them. In Covenant, it makes Ridley's forays into artsiness seem awkward, because they clearly don't fit with the slasher tone of the rest of the movie. And how many Alien movies are we going to get where a space crew descends onto a planet unexpectedly and finds a derelect ship and gets an alien infection? In Prometheus it was a nice mirror and homage but here it's just a retread.
Disagree, Prometheus was a mass of garbage and plot holes. No love for Shaw here nor any of the characters with the exception of Theron. I did enjoy covenant, but I would rather see Blomkamps ALien than another Ridley film.
Really hoping this is all in the actual film
***** it's just so brilliant & it's what I wanted to see in the sequel - so to cut it from the actual film would seem frustrating; such a waste of amazing footage.
I hope it isn't in the film, otherwise they've spoiled some good shit and there's another 7 minute prologue they've released that I DO NOT want to sit through again in the cinema
im starting to think this is the planet they land on in the film.
tom dean it's part of the movie
edit: and its longer in the actual movie
thorin oakenshield no shit sherlock
Prometheus was a film that was completely different to any of the Alien films, but it brought new horrors. The effects where fantastic, it was a film that needed a second part that never arrived!
David roasted the entire engineer race
David unleashes the REAL MOAB - Mother Of All Bombs, circa 2093
wait, WHAT DID HE SAY?
Yeah. David don't play! I guess he never got over having his head ripped off and his creator murdered by the Engineer in "Prometheus". Pay back is a bitch!
not necessarily, those engineers are kind of different from the Prometheus one + they have to introduce the space jockey from Alien 1.
This is literally better than the actual movie.
I am so stoked for this movie, best marketing I've seen in a while!
Best marketing since Prometheus lol
yes, watching the movie is the only possible consequence.
seconded. Fuck Deadpool's marketing. This is high end
agreed! and i love all the movies.. ok thats a lie. i didnt like AVP or Ressurrection. loved the depressing vibe of Alien 3 though
Garrett Mahan
you my good sir are correct. if you've seen the first movie you are automatically hooked n if this is your first time seeing anything to do with Prometheus, well then, welcome to what's going to be one of the top 10 movies of 2017
Noomi Rapace really does radiate the compassion it takes to repair David, as well as the visceral need to know who are these alien beings, the Engineers.
I SHAW that coming lmao!
HappiestSadGuy lmfao, just leave.
HappiestSadGuy - 😂😂😂👌💯
I'm pretty sure Shaw will be turned into a xenomorph queen.
Good god I hope not, that would one of the most bland concepts to ever be placed in a Alien film. Having a human turn into the Xeno Queen is just degrading to the Xeno's. Though I will give it credit for somewhat trying to play tribute to one of Giger's work.
HappiestSadGuy Ba dum tss
this explains so much. I have way more understanding about what happened to them when they left the world with promethues
at least it was very logical, that the only being, who can repair David will be Shaw.
She's smart enough to understand his instructions though.
That "Engineers" on Paradise do not have any control (checking) / defence / emergency (or bunker) systems? It means that on planet live lower caste? But it opens new questions.
Maybe... they do not think they actually need it, since they are not aware that any other lifeforms, such as humans, has reached any level of technology nor intelligence to actually travel the stars. They could perhaps consider themselves to be the only real intelligent life in the galaxy. I suppose one can spin such questions and answers in many directions for all eternity. hehe
would you question airforce one landing in your country? You would expect Papa Trump inside, and not some crazy Android spraying black Xenojizz at your folks.
Only who is a fan, but a real fan of the franchise noticed the same soundtrack from movie Alien of 1979 while Elizabeth Shaw was waking up David... that's was amazing *_* lol
Then they played a more Prometheus ambient tone when they arrived. The combination of musical tone was remarkable and engrossing.
I did and its beautiful ! I really enjoyed Prometheus though , so underated...
I was going to comment on that, too. But you beat me to it. Good ear!
People can say all the negative things they want about them, but I think Prometheus and Covenant are both visually stunning.
Sorry. Takes a lot more to make a great film than that. Imagine that being the only thing you could say about "Alien" and "Aliens."
You're right though, Promethius looked pretty incredible. The plot was boring and fragmented and the whole thing was very pretentious, but it looked pretty schmick.
That said I had a pretty good time with Covenant, it was much better paced and did a better job at both creepy and exciting. It was just in a different genre to the two originals, more action fantasy than scifi horror
Alien vs Predator wayyyy better
did you think it was pretentious bc that little brain could not understand what happened??@@joshuawinestock9998
I don't think anyone knows how bad I want to see this movie. I loved Prometheus
gotmoney123fly I do. I was watching Prometheus every night for a month. This movie is all I think about
gotmoney123fly Saw Prometheus in theater with my dad when it came out it was so great on the big screen and iv watched it high many times since then definitely a good movie to watch when your stoned with your friends and all they're minds are being blown.
Same here. I love Prometheus. Have seen it many times and will continue to. It's just a to darn good of a movie to stop watching it! So obviously I can not wait so badly to watch Covenant!! I have never done this for any other movie, I can't get over it.
lol I remember the theories about Shaw being an Alien Queen haha
It's still possible
Dude is about to drop hundreds of canisters of that black ooze on that planet, I bet Shaw gets turned.
If Shaw is a freaking alien queen I'm going to be yelling loudly at the theater.
killaka786 No, she helped create the alien queen. She had it removed in the last movie, and it grew into a giant squid monster, that killed the engineer that she was fighting. It then implanted itself into the engineer, which turned into a chest burster that came out of the engineers dead body, and made the alien queen.
+John Smith that's a deacon tho, not an alien queen..
Dr Shaw! such a likable character...I certainly hope she's alive somewhere, I wouldn't stand seeing her turned into an alien queen, she deserves a more honorable fate...
I hope she turns out to be the space jockey inot alien
I still don't understand her naivety in not bringing weapons when they went on their first expedition.
For me Dr. Shaw is the most charismatic character in the series since Ripley.... I hope she's still around!
i think her being the first alien queen would make her role that much more important to the saga, and also get back at the engineers for being such jerks
I hope she gets her answers
David's betrayal would have been that much more horrifying if they had kept these scenes in the film.
David: She put me back together. I never experience such compassion ... so I opened her up and tore her apart.
Weyland Corp. Customer Service: Weyland Corp., may I help you?
Customer: Hi, I have a question about your product David 8. He is dissecting our dog. Is that a bug or a feature?
Benn Cheng 😂😂😂 I thought exactly the same
Lmao
Lmaooooo🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Like father. Like son. If you don't understand David's character you clearly weren't paying any attention to Peter Weyland and his megalomaniacal god complex.
thats not true..it was when Shaw was dying david tried his best to first save her then reanimate her but everything failed.
i hope this movie is 3 hours long
Allan Pizza and with the hidden scenes 2Hours 15minutes more!
Hidden scenes?
Allan Pizza I know right! This movie better be long as hell.
It's somewhere around 2 hours and something minutes long.
Allan Pizza nah bro it's 2 hrs and 3 min 😂
I wasn't going to go see the movie. Now I have no choice. Good job marketing.
From the comments I read, it doesn't seem like this is what the movie is going to be. I believe that this was the route the director wanted to go but instead the producers threw that out and went with what we have now as alien:covenant
GaNGPLank TheKeg no, this will be in the movie, you can see clips of this prologue in the Alien Covenant tv spots
You always have a choice.
no you still have a choice, You can just give away all of you money to me, you won't have enough money to watch anything
Man, remember how hype this was.
And then the movie came out and Shaw was killed offscreen.
While he was alone and learned about their ways.. David judged they are evil because of what they did to him and the rest of the crew. He felt guilty about his betrayal to Shaw and promised her to help her find the makers, but it was a farce all along, his mind was already made up to kill them all. Listen to his voice when he says "Our arrival..". I hear a lot of anger..
he likely found out that trying to contact them and ask them questions was actually useless, and since he knew that the engineers were always going to try to destroy humans if they ever discover our race was actually making progress, David decided to wipe them out and avoid such fate.
Tool Time why do the engineers hate us so much? Someone told me it's because an engineer did come back and visit us. And we crucified him... (Jesus) sounds about right haha 😂😂
Hard call. I'll admit, at the end of Prometheus I rather hoped Shaw and David would find and bombard the Engineers with the same bio weapon they had in store for us. But then, after seeing the movie again more recently and remembering the Engineer in Prometheus had been in cryosleep for 2000 years, I did wonder if perhaps the Engineer society could have changed in those 2000 years. Maybe moving away from being the sinister group so fond of bioweapons, having a regime change, ect. Changing into something more peaceful. 2000 years ago here, empires and barbarian groups warred and committed mass slaughter frequently. Things aren't perfect now, but there's been improvements. Could Davids decision have been wrong after all? Granted, if he was right and he/Shaw did nothing, they would have paid Earth an unfriendly little visit and that would have been it for humanity. Of course, there's speculation the people down there weren't 'true' Engineers. Further, Davids motivations may not be justice, vengeance, or protecting humanity...but perhaps something sinister in their own right. He's a bit of a psychopath even for an android. Anyways, can't wait to see the movie!
It's also possible that they are not engineers. The engineers in Prometheus were tall, jacked as shit and had beautiful, round faces. The image about the "new engineers" that circulates on the internet shows them as deformed, ugly humanlike creatures. Maybe they were created by the engineers just like the humans were.
Remember the cave drawings on Earth? I guess the engineers visited these ugly people too after creating them. Maybe they gathered and cheered because they believed that their God has returned.
Tool Time he also says "so long as they are not worst". Well, he discovered they are worst.
I'm thinking I'd rather have 2 hours of this instead of what I expect Covenant will be. For me, the big draw to _Prometheus_ was in how it was set in the same universe but the egg/facehugger/xenomorph wasn't the pivoting point. Plus, there's a beautiful simplicity to having a story with just two protagonists. Especially when one of them is played by Fassbender.
YES!!! That was the major flaw with it's film. The first teaser was hinting hard at Xeno's. Don't get me wrong Prometheus is a decent Science Fiction film.
2 hours of this already exists... It's called Passengers
Honestly have no idea what similarities you see here hehe. I could say 2 hours of Passengers already exists, it's call Sunshine. Or 2 hours of Sunshine already exists, it's called Event Horizon. What exactly is your point lmao.
Violent Nomad too bad the same can't be said about Fassbender's "Assassin's Creed"
Colin Poole Not the travel, actually going to paradise and experiencing it.
Looks like David brought some democracy.
Vitruvius Antarchius the best kind of capitalism. The kind where Americans gave such a good quality of life, they can afford to get involved in the problems of lesser nations and help them in events such as natural disasters or preventing genocide. We all know the commy nations won't unless there's a chance they can turn them commy.
John Smith this should be top comment haha 😂😂
55 serves of freedom fries coming up, you fucks...
Communism does a great job bankrupting countries by itself. In fact, it is its specialty.
Really? Care to explain, how the so bankrupt USSR managed to launch first satellite into space just 12 years after winning the most bloody war in history of mankind, which ravaged mostly on Russian plains? Also, your apple and microsoft transnational corporations use planned economy indoors, copying Stalin's economy, but using it for greedy corporational interests.
It is not socialism bankrupting countries, it is capitalist third world exploitation.
prometheus was flawless. this one is superb. i am glad i was alive to see them.
I hope Shaw survives in this movie. And they find her in near the end, still sleeping. Idk what would happen from there. But Shaw has to live or I'm going to be really sad of her character build up in Prometheus.
I personally dont feel that shaw fits the role for the films.... they should have gotten another actress for the part.... but that just me....
well the theory that shaw becomes a alien queen went to poop.
nope !
Dawid is on his own stepping outside the ship. Shaw is far gone.
Mike K. I think he might just leave her asleep and then be like "sadly when we arrived they seemed to have died... Oh well" maybe not exactly that but idk David has no real reason to hate shaw and I don't believe he does
The sequel to Prometheus would have been perfect if it showed David and Shaw exploring this strange and bizarre Alien world, we don't even need explanations, something a la Giger - Art in Motion. But no, instead we are going to have another bug hunt ad infinitum.
Then audience would´ve cried (again) how there aren´t any xenomorphs killing people....
haskapaska the same way people bitch about Star Wars if they change it too much which is why people are now hating on TLJ
I'm still hoping they do that movie next. Instead of the reboot of colonists versus xenomorphs.
I think more like a robot hunt, by the engineers
Think of it this way, A.I has a mind of its own.
Game Over Man, Game Over!!!!!
Fuckin A
just watched aliens today. r.I.p bill Paxton...aka Hudson
Knock it off, Hudson!
The movie may not have lived up to the hype but wow does this trailer does set the mood. This scene of the ship arriving to the engineers home world and opening the gates of hell upon them is so well achieved. You can feel all the sounds and visuals, so eerie, sinister. This being playing god over the beings that may well be the gods of his creators.
It’s not the engineers home world apparently. It’s one of the worlds that the engineers seeded.
Donde puedo ver la pelicula?
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Wow!!! Such words for begin a vengeance and full destruction.
Perfect, thanks this was driving me bananas. David is ambitious if he can rule the Engineers then he will become the superior life form. We got all of this and more on Alien Day in the theaters. The action is there but it is done tastefully and was not silly. My anticipation is high for this film.
To Paraphrase Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park: "Ah, now eventually you do plan to have Aliens in your, in your Aliens Movie, right?"

Michael Fassbender kissed himself.
it was so funny but kinda hot
That's when it crossed into corny territory.
Schänder MOnd not gay enough 😌
"Those in love with themselves have no rivals" - - Benjamin Franklin
Schänder MOnd But is it gay if it's literally yourself?
They left the part of the story out in the movie where David wept for Elizabeth. His convoluted sense of discovery and creation mixed with the understanding for human emotion led him to using her actual body parts to create the many monsters we see today. He did that with the ritualistic sense that every positive experiment was a tribute to her memory and very being.
The scary unnerving part is knowing that David is a self sustained A.I. system incapable of stopping. He will see through to his demise every possible outcome. Much like his creator. And much like his savior. Weyland and Shaw.
I always thought the discovered she was dying from the c sec pod incident on their journey but due to them growing close David tried to save her by putting her in crypto only to discover not a technologically advanced species but religious zealots etc. With no cure Shaw passes but David knows her goal was to be able to create life from the beginning. So in his twisted way he uses her remains to do that.
This short 2 minute film is better than the whole 120 minutes of Alien Covenant.
Indeed.
Covenant was a good addition IMO I Loved it
@@CockneyClint I'm loving this for you :)
👍👍
No.
"God creates man, man creates monster"
EpiclyLost monster eats man. Woman inherit the Earth.
More like Monster facerapes Man, Woman blasts the shit out of it with flamethrower.
...scissoring
TheRonster9319 woman complains about everything and dies
EpiclyLost I think that's what the writers want you to think. But some people's opinions "Humans created God. Not the other way around". I think that's why it's so hard to figure the story line out.
I keep playing it over and over, it is the one piece that truly is a view beyond prometheus and one where we see our surviving heroine alive and well. One where we see David showing compassion and care. This along with the melancholic alien tune, make it precious to me.
shit happens@@walterramjet
It's very interesting how he explains that he never was shown such compassion from anyone besides her because in the end he looks at what he 'gave' her as a gift. She gave him a new life so he returned the favor in a sense.
In a sense.
From what I can draw, when he talked about learning of their ways on the trip there, I think he realized that he had to destroy them in order to save humanity. That's why he had all of the bio weapon prepared and made the quote. It may turn out that he learned the engineers are worse than the xenomorphs.
C North I mean that makes sense to me for the most part, they did created Xenomorphs as weapons so that says a lot
Interesting David says
"We were finally going to meet OUR creators". yet he knew who his creator was; Peter Weyland.
NYCurbanLatina technically it’s the creators of his creator. It’s basically his grand-creator.
Psychotic Trait yep makes more sense XD
We were finally going to meet our "creators". As in the ones they were searching for. Not their creators, their mission.
Freaky, huh?
@WANG SILANG Year_15 i agree
This was the sequel literally all of us wanted.
Hell of a way to show your appreciation David. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
This is exceptional!! Finally answers what happened after the end of Prometheus. Fantastic short with a wonderfully haunting, dark & lonely atmosphere.
I REALLY love this version of Alien's theme from 0:42 .
It sounded melancholic, lonely, and somber. If only someday we could get our hands on this track.
2:15
I like this creepy, broken theme
@@seanwhitehall4652 , yes, it's from ALIEN COVENANT where the poor guy gets infected by spores resulting in the backbuster, and the destruction of the dropship.
In the paradise film they used the chestburster sound clip from covenenant for the above sequence which was played just before discovering Shaw's grave:

Cual es ésta película? No la encuentro, tampoco la parte donde asesinan a los ingenieros. Donde la puedo ver?
Wow, these T.E. Lawrence vibes in David last (er ... penultimate :) ) sentence ... Great job, sir !
Damien Raynal What did he say? I couldn't understand.
Isn't it from Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley?
That's from Ozymandias, Heisenberg would be proud
"Look on my works ye mighty and despair" is from Ozymadias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Sorry I was commenting what comes before, "And then I was alone again... I learned of their ways... and awaited", not finding like this in the Seven Pillars though ... But the tone is here !
Didn't get the Ozymandias reference, well done Elias Anderson & daniel woods ! (was looking for something from Milton instead)
Can't get enough of Fassbender impersonating tormented or dark caracters. David 8 is the reason I watch this series
Ridley is no fool, he knows what he's doing. In this passage there is no spoiler, I still have a lot of questions. We are waiting for an epic and of course awful adventure.
weather or not this film would be successful... I want to praise Michael Fassbender for playing his role as David the android .and the walter android.....he really fits the role in this film .
what the hell are you talking about !? this had plenty of spoilers you just have to know where to look ..
Look on my works ye mighty, and despair.
David is now truly evil.
Maybe he somehow incorporated opium in his metal mind like the author of that line did when he wrote it?
Evil? I think you overlook what David might have learned about the Engineers and their intentions to a greater depth during his journey there and realised the only course of action upon arrival.
totally agree with you MrNerd
No, just more Ozymandias-ic.
The point of the poem is to illustrate how even the mighty may fall and be lost to the sands of time.
Honestly, like some people who commented I would have preferred a proper Prometheus 2. David, Shaw, and the Engineers should have been the focus. It should have had its own monsters. What was the point of introducing the Deacon without doing anything with it? David and Shaw's adventure could have easily been the basis for an entire movie, since that is what Prometheus directly set up. THEN it could have been followed up with a somewhat more traditional Alien film like Covenant , serving as the bridge between the Prometheus series and the original Alien, forming a complete trilogy. It was a missed opportunity
Well, maybe that's what the next film will be. Maybe there could be some flashback sequences with Shaw and David.
I think Scott mentioned that Engineers and David would be a primary focus in the next film, and be less xenomorph heavy.
Mate I'd high five you if I could. Spot on
Because Scott produces Horror Movies. Shaw was never meant to meet "divine entities on paradise" in the first place.
Blame the other fans who only want alien
So Blade Runner 2049 giving us a Conestoga class assault ship,
Proves Aliens is still set 2079 gives you a new film order, Covenant the first film of the 22nd century,
Then David turned the Covenant around and headed back to Earth, Movie Earth War.
ridley said that during quarantine, he had enough time to finished some scripts.... i really hope one of those is another prequel-sequel
I hope not.
