Legacy and Impact
The Alien franchise has had a significant impact on the science fiction and horror genres since the release of the original Alien film in 1979.

The success of Alien led to several sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, each expanding the universe and exploring new themes and ideas.
Alien Covenant continues this tradition, delving deeper into the origins of the Xenomorphs and the mysterious Engineers introduced in Prometheus. The film explores themes of creation, survival, and the unknown, challenging the characters and the audience to confront their fears and question their understanding of the universe.
The movie’s visual effects, set design, and creature creation are expected to be top-notch, maintaining the high standards set by previous installments.
