The Crossing, an official prologue short to Alien: Covenant, reveals what happened to crew members Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and the synthetic David after the events of Prometheus. Set aboard an abandoned Engineer vessel, Dr. Shaw repairs David as they continue their search for humanity’s creators.
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

This should NOT have been cut from the film. Superb.
This WAS the film until the idiots changed it to Covenant and everyone running around in the dark again.
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.

in his mind, her death meant the creation of a whole new species.
yeah he is fucked up.

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
This was what I wanted Prometheus 2 to be.
This should have been the opening scene. It would have been better.
"i was badly injured"..dude you were a head in a sports bag!!!
True enough, lol
that doesn't mean shit when you are a robot
the word dude is so ugly and ....idk,i just hate it
some humans can be so dumb sometimes, it's sad...
Walk it off...
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 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.
I keep coming back to this. I'm convinced this is one of the best movie trailers of all time despite how the movie turned out.
Movie turned out to be total shit.
It all started in the year 1943!
hey u m a m i !! I agree, it's disappointing they did not go in the direction this trailer would have you believe
@@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.
the end of the clip michael fassbender looks more magneto than the xmen movies magneto
Ricardo Milanez lmao
Yeah except for 1st Class, all the fassbender magnetos are weakly used in the films :-(
i think they did makeup effects on him to make him look a bit more ragged, considering he was beheaded. michael himself aged fine
i want to like this but your avatar is a devil and there's 666 likes
omfg LOL those likes! but no is not the devil sazael from Xmen first class :P
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
gotzn0name A twist revealing she was still alive would have been far better
gotzn0name
who was in all 3 alien trilogy other than Ripley? It's Bishop
No he was not, he was only in Aliens and Alien 3
Even the goddamn Bill Paxton got a badass death scene
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.
This was as stupid as killing Hicks and Newt off screen. To have the survivor of Prometheus killed basically offscreen was moronic.
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 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 TH-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
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.
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!
Yes!
Boyka BRUH the whole marketing spoiled the movie with all these tv spots and trailers
aww yeah!!
This is why I have a rule with movies. I only watch the trailer to a movie once!
and for some movies I don't even watch a single trailer. Haven't watched one for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I know I'm gonna see it, so why bother?
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...
"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 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!
Green to gray
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!
Red to red ... black to black ... blue ... to pieces! Prometheous is my favourite film .... know some hate it with a passion but heyho!
It's just him instructing her how to connect the wires.
You're tripping....
I really hope we get another Elizabeth Shaw feature film
**scratches neck*
Yall got anymore of them Covenant prologues? **sniff*
This Covenant sh*t's got me man... I tried kickin it but it just keeps callin me man, keeps callin me....
Man... I'd suck a d*ck for another XD lol
Please man please *fidgeting*
Fa real man (twitches eye) I mean what a brotha gotta do for just (scratching) 1 more clip?
(Tilts to the left, lifts right leg slightly, eyebrows furrow)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I can't help but feel that the ending scene is a metaphor for Ridley's relationship with the fans. He stands above as the fan cheer in hope of a good Alien movie and then Ridley destroys all there hope.
I'd watch a 3 hour movie of David and Shaw
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" !
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.
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!
prometheus was flawless. this one is superb. i am glad i was alive to see them.
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 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.
Justin E agreed
@@digiquo8143 Welcome to planet Earth! Humans will NEVER be satisfied. Always greedy and wanting more!
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 love how he quoted ozymandias at the end
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
Listen carefully and you can hear the population below cheering the ships arrival above them....
Eddy Fong this may indicate that they're not Engineers and was probably made by them.
+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
Images from the set showed the amphitheatre scattered with dead Engineers/humanoids. That suggests to me that David "bombs" the site from above.
Yea that was pretty clear to hear
Eddy Fong yeaaaa
i wish someday James gets to realize its full vision on this storyline, cause I know conevant wasnt it
I loved Prometheus and Covenant, I wish we'd get more from Ridley
you need help, goodness..
no you need help. you are some bum who thinks they are some movie critic, get a life loser@@PatkaBoy831
silence, cuck@@PatkaBoy831
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
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
Can't get enough of Fassbender impersonating tormented or dark caracters. David 8 is the reason I watch this series
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?
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."
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?
David's betrayal would have been that much more horrifying if they had kept these scenes in the film.
Hell of a way to show your appreciation David. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Game Over Man, Game Over!!!!!
Fuckin A
just watched aliens today. r.I.p bill Paxton...aka Hudson
Knock it off, Hudson!
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 😂
When the prologue is better than the theatrical film release.
agreed.
there has got to be a parallel universe out there where ridley scott continued shaw and david's story
David: "Whoopsie-do, here comes the goo!!!"
Oh Lord! here comes the xenomorph!
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.
I really liked Prometheus but still miss what happened between that movie and Alien : Covenant.
@Mr Heck Maybe you could try to develop that further beyond that strange low IQ answer !?.
This short film was better than the entire Alien: Covenant.
David unleashes the REAL MOAB - Mother Of All Bombs, circa 2093
more like MOAV....mother of all virus
Black Goo Matters
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 ..
David's reply to Shaw's question "What if they are no better than us"? of "So long as they are no worse" stuck with me all these years so I decided to look it up to see if it came from something.
Turns out it comes from an Aesop fable about a donkey and a calf in a country where a conquering army is invading. The two animals discuss running away, with the calf choosing to run because it will be slaughtered and eaten, but the donkey stays.
The donkey reasons, I am a servant so it doesn't matter who my master is "so long as they are no worse" than my old one.
That fact that the writers would have David quote that line about how he knows that he is a "servant" of humans and may very well become a servant of the engineers (so he kills them) is absolutely amazing!
I just wish it didn't take me five years to get that!
This 2:40 has more good parts than the entire movie Alien: Covenant.
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!
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 :)
Tbh she never found out that David was the one who infected her husband.
Merchant Ivory David didn't kill her husband with an alien spore. I'm pretty sure he was just her boyfriend
what do you expect from a woman?
Charlie and Dr. Shaw were married. Wedding bands and all.
Technically, Weyland did all that. But now he's dead.
I like movies that go out of the norm and explain what we wondered how things came to be from the Alien franchise. Epic, Ridley Scott is one of our greats in my honest opinion.
Beautiful prologue sequence...
I've loved it, day one. Brilliant film.
"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."
I would have really liked to see a film about Elizabeth and David traveling to the Engineers home planet. Even a novel telling that story would have been fine.
Prometheus was an excellent film and the fact that Elizabeth was killed off was such a disappointment.
At least we still have David though.
"Freeze all motor functions" You need testing.
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.
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
Saw the unused plot, the sketches where David had made when he experimented on Elizabeth's frozen/preserved corpse to create the aliens etc... It's haunting but worth the feels of continuation to this Prologue. It's an art of creation by artificial intelligence as it's best, very H.R. Giger.
where did you see that? if i understand you right
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
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.
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
I LOVE this prologue . Its a masterpiece .
God, the score in this just thrums so heavy. They created on of the most interesting races in sci-fi and then incinerated them. The few seconds of the alien ship's bridge is truly a marvel of special effects. How the ship is navigated and the opening up of the whole galaxy for navigation is wholly new. Ridley Scott really cheated us, but also the studio probably balked at the budget for a whole cast of giants. This could have been on par with 'Oblivion' for exciting, over-the-top sci-fi and instead we got a scout troupe of humans tripping over their shoe laces.
This is literally better than the actual movie.
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.
more David and Shaw in an alien awakening flashback please!
she was fired the end !
Out of all of the Alien clips I've seen so far, this one was intriguing. Good job
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
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.
I think this is the best movie scene that exists, in my opinion. Too bad they did not continue make a movie into the direction of engineers, i really thought they were going to make a movie like that, especially the way prometeheus ended, with David and Shaw flying into the universe. I really hoped the story continued, but instead they made Covenant, which i liked by the way.
Finally someone else that likes covenant too, imo I prefer prometheus but I liked the relationship between Daniels and Walter , and even Tennessee for me they were pretty sweet and funny together
And obviously the best part for me was the neomorph, idk what about its design but I actually really really like it
Ridley Scott did Diddly Squatt with Alien: Covenant.
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
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..
Of all the dumb decisions they took while filming these new movies, killing Shaw was probably the dumbest one. What a waste.
I love these two in ship . They're so cute toogether
Poor Elizabeth....
there's something about that scene (where they show Dr. Shaw) that scared the crap out of me. I was frightened for the rest of the film.
Paratyr worst of all, she gets-
*Spoilers for the Advent Extra from te Covenant BluRay*
-her organs salvaged for David’s creation
Why did she trust David at all? What was she thinking?
Without David she has dead already. Who driven that halo ship ? Given intrustions ? Have many talks to keep her mind clear ?
Salander
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
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.
After Ripley, Shaw is the best character. They done her dirty in this movie!
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.
Look up the red band trailers for Covenant if you haven't. I thought they were really good!
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 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
We could’ve had a movie with David and Shaw learning about the engineer’s culture and what did they do after Prometheus exploded…but oh no They made Daniels the main protagonist…
agree i wanted to watch david and shaw go to paradise to meet the engineers
Man, this prologue is worlds better than the entire film
