Alien Covenant: Who is the real villain of the film?

Cinema 10 May, 2017

The Xenomorphs are clearly ugly creatures, but in Alien Covenant, they are not the ones to worry about. But of whom? Attention, SPOILERS.
Alien Covenant is released today in theaters and as much as you tell it right away, it’s the darkest, scariest and most gore film of the franchise! But not only. We told you in our review of Alien Covenant , Ridley Scott added some complexity in his screenplay, notably through the androids David and Walter, the characters of Michael Fassbender . Yes, because we quickly understand that if the Xenomorphs are terrifying and offer the bloodiest scenes of the film, they are not the true threat of the film. It is actually David who should be wary of the crew of the Covenant because the more the plot advances, The more one discovers the obscurity of the latter’s personality and that his intentions are in reality purely bad. Beside, the Xenomorphs could even pass for Bisounours. Since Prometheus , the android has developed a certain contempt for humans and has become very dark about their fate, while developing a not very healthy fascination for the awful alien creatures. And in Alien Covenant , we discover the extent of this fascination and it is most flippant! While developing a fascination not very healthy for the awful extraterrestrial creatures. And in Alien Covenant , we discover the extent of this fascination and it is most flippant! While developing a fascination not very healthy for the awful extraterrestrial creatures. And in Alien Covenant , we discover the extent of this fascination and it is most flippant!
Only on the planet of Engineers, with neighbors of the Xenomorphs, the android David decided to devote himself to a new passion: the study of these creatures. Yes, but here he is not just an observer and goes so far as to dissect them. Worse, he set about creating it by himself. But for them to come to life, they need a human host. And that’s how David will send a signal into space that, unfortunately, the crew of the Covenant will catch as he goes to another planet. Change of direction therefore, to go see what is framed on that of the Engineers. Bad idea, since as we saw in a new excerpt from Alien Covenant, this trip will turn out to be a nightmare . Even worse, during the film, We discover that David is also at the origin of the end of the Engineers. One sees it arriving on their planet and throw thousands of black bombs on them, killing them without any pity. In short, Android David is not as nice as in Prometheus and the new crew of the Covenant led by the character of Katherine Waterston will therefore have a hard time between him and his little babies, the Neomorphs. Did you expect it?
