Prometheus & Alien: Covenant are two of the most misunderstood science fiction blockbusters in recent years. Both films serve as prequels to Alien (1979) and were intended to be followed by a third film called Alien: Awakenings which never happened. The stories explain the origins of what happened to Colony LV-426, how the Xenomorph was created and who created humanity. Both films star the sensational Michael Fassbender and are directed by Ridley Scott.
