I was impressed by the continued world building (or universe building) in
Alien: Covenant and the Ultra HD release has been on my wish list for quite some time as I feel that would be the best way to watch it and
Prometheus, a film I also enjoyed at the cinema seems to improve with every viewing.
There were couple of parts in both films, where they appeared to get a little bogged down in the enormity of the pre-Alien world which Ridley Scott is bringing to the screen, so the plots aren't as tight or (at least on first viewing) coherent as his 1979 tour de force, but the ambition, set pieces and visual grandeur are stunning. I'm a big fan of Michael Fassbender's portrayal of David and Walter because for an actor to be so chillingly restrained is an achievement in itself, but to make those characters so interesting and believable is an astonishing piece of acting.
Whenever the sequel to
Alien: Covenant is released, I'll be very disappointed if I don't get to see it at a cinema.
