Alien: Covenant - Prologue: Last Supper

About This Movie

Alien: Covenant - Prologue: Last Supper is an interesting little piece that really sets the stage for the larger narrative of the Covenant mission. It’s all about tone here, with a tense atmosphere right from the start, as we see the crew gathered for what feels like a last supper before heading into cryosleep. The chemistry between the couples adds to the stakes, and you can feel the weight of what’s to come, even though it’s just a meal. The practical effects are well done, keeping in line with the franchise's aesthetic. Walter, the android, is a standout with his subtle performance, hinting at deeper themes of humanity and artificiality. It’s not your typical prologue; it’s a moment of intimacy before chaos ensues.
