Storyline:

In 2104, almost eleven years after the ill-fated expedition to the distant moon LV-223 in Prometheus (2012), the deep-space colonisation vessel USCSS Covenant is on course for the remote planet Origae-6. Carrying over 2,000 colonists in cryogenic hibernation, they seek to build a new world. Instead, a rogue transmission entices the crew to a nearby habitable planet that resembles Earth. But nothing can prepare the ambitious crew for another disaster in uncharted territory. As the peaceful exploratory operation turns into a frantic rescue mission, biological foes beyond human comprehension threaten the future before it has even begun. In the depths of space, terror reveals its hideous face. Has anyone ever set foot on the mysterious planet and lived to tell the tale?

About Movie:

Alien: Covenant is a science fiction horror film directed and produced by Ridley Scott, with a screenplay by John Logan and Dante Harper, based on a story by Michael Green and Jack Paglen. It is the sequel to Prometheus (2012) and part of the Alien franchise. The film stars Michael Fassbender, alongside Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, and Demián Bichir. The plot follows the crew of the colony ship Covenant who land on an uncharted planet and make a chilling discovery.

Before Prometheus was released, Scott had already discussed a sequel and a new trilogy. The project was confirmed in August 2012. Principal photography took place from April 4 to July 19, 2016, in Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. The film featured creature effects by Odd Studios and CreatureNFX. The initial cut was 2 hours and 23 minutes, but it was edited down by over twenty minutes.

Alien: Covenant premiered in London on May 4, 2017, and was released by 20th Century Fox on May 12 in the UK and May 19 in the US. It received generally positive reviews from critics but underperformed at the box office, grossing $240 million worldwide against an estimated $100 million production budget, excluding marketing costs.
