This and Ghost in the shell, Guardians of the Galaxy2, Wonder woman, and Blade Runner2 to name but as few.

We are spoilt for choice on the Si-fi front this year.

you get the "regular" bd as well, but don't really want to spend £23 on a film which I heard isn't that great but prob wouldn't get round to watching for ages anyway ;)

edit: just realised I probably spent that much on the Prometheus steelbook, the missus can have it for Christmas :)

I have just seen Alien Covenant (Prometheus 2) and reasonably happy that at least it closed the chapter on Prometheus 1, knowing the fate of the Android David and woman survivor on their way to the Engineers world, and what happened once they got there.

In this new film there were far more Geiger alien characters (straight out his books and sketches), with the story getting more crazed and darker as time went by. The new crew were totally forgettable.

Agree this film was not good enough, well for me anyway to ever buy as a DVD. Especially the ending as described in spoiler block......

SPOILER:
Pity the very obvious 'evil wins over good'ending where we had one android survivor, either David or Walter, and you just knew that crazed David had hacked off his hand to look like Walter, and of course we then get a rotten evil ending. Really ruined it for me. Could have been better.

Finally seen this (I seem to say that a lot don't I?) and really enjoyed it, actually much more than Prometheus. I think it's focus on the story rather than trying to recreate the tension of the original Alien worked really well.

Yes Rob, it was better than the first, except for the obvious ending 'evil twist' with the androids which could be worked out in anyone's head rather quickly, given how dark Alien films are.

I noticed in a comment I wrote above that I would not buy the DVD, well I have backtracked on this and added it to my Alien DVD collection. Watched it again and it was better than I thought, the first time.

Always a sucker for Si-fi films, unless they are total dross
