Eine Theorie die nicht auf Etwas solidem basiert ist für gewöhnlich nur Geschwätz.

MemberNeomorphOct-17-2017 8:09 AMI understand the themes, it is just that it was packaged in a mostly boring way.
Yeah it is a story 80% focused on AI and 20 for the rest (including the landscape).
Such a disappointment, I give it 2 out of 5 at best because it was alright until David arrived. David wasn't a boring character it is just that all the humans were thrown into the background from when David showed up until the end credits. I have Alien 1-4 and Prometheus at home, I will skip Covenant.

MemberPraetorianOct-18-2017 7:54 AMI felt like Alien: Covenant was written for me and I will eventually watch it more than Prometheus.
David was everything the humans could provide in a single, refined package born from decades of Weyland acquisitions. Black goo mutagen was described as the same thing for the Engineers with "Through the virus / Xenomorph as glorious synthesis and poetic culmination of the species."
So, David is the human's form of Engineer mutagen amassing every skill of a species into a synthesized product. Humanity (Weyland) had pulled together the best resources and attempted to reach beyond our circumstances with David. And the humans will pay for their overconfidence.
I tried hard with that above Thoughts_Dreams. Are you now going to buy Alien: Covenant?
I can enhance more screen shots to try and pump you up.
