The First Reactions To ‘Alien: Covenant’ Hit The Web

Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant doesn’t hit theaters in the United States for another two weeks but the red-carpet premiere took place yesterday in London and the first reactions have hit the web.

With Covenant, Scott looks to be taking the franchise back to the bloody horror roots of the original classic and judging by the reactions from those who saw it, it seems he has just done that. You can check out the first reactions below.

The film stars Katherine Waterston, Michael Fassbender, Danny McBride, Noomi Rapace, Demian Bichir, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo, Billy Crudup and Amy Seimetz. Here’s the official synopsis:

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Alien: Covenant hits theaters May 19, 2017.
