ALIEN: COVENANT

-

Cert 15

Digital Monday, Disc September 18 Thirty-eight years after Ridley Scott first terrified the galaxy with his classic Alien, the director returns again to the sci-fi thriller franchise he gave birth to.

He delivers an epic hybrid of spinebusti­ng action, exotic locations, stunning design, blood-splatterin­g thrills and apocalypti­c destructio­n.

Set 10 years after his film Prometheus ended, Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston are part of a small team of colonists stranded on a planet and unable to communicat­e with the orbiting mother ship.

As the script wrestles with the huge questions of human existence, our heroes have to grapple for their lives with a very familiar facehuggin­g foe.
