Classic profile in the Alien series
Getting into the pit from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant is superb
In 1979, director Ridley Scott presented us with a film that subverted traditional horror elements, Alien, which ushered in a new chapter in science fiction horror and won the 52nd Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The Alien series (1979-1997) films also became a classic of a generation.
Alien Movie Timeline:
The Classic 1-4 of the Alien series takes place in 2122-2381.
Prometheus: Is a 2012 "Alien Prequel", which takes place in 2089 and tells the story of the origin of "Alien".
Alien: The Covenant: 2017 marks the 38th anniversary of aliens, directed by Alien 1 and Prometheus, and the 80-year-old Ray, who is now 80 years old, has once again personally written the work to bring you a sequel to Prometheus, which takes place 10 years after Prometheus, that is, 2100.
Alien: Covenant is largely a supplement to Ray's original alien universe, and if you miss the classic Alien 4 part, it would be wise to make up for Prometheus before alien: Covenant is released!
The director said in the interview that he will also make a prequel called "Alien: Awakening" and three new sequels to "Alien"! The prequel trilogy is chronologically: Prometheus, Awakening, and Covenant.
Directed by Ridley Scott
Prometheus Synopsis synopsis
Prometheus is undoubtedly a high-minded film, constructing a grand cosmology and the concept of the origin of species. There is the setting of the Creator Giant "Engineer", and there is also the exploration of human beings' own origins.
The film opens with the Creator "Engineer" coming to Earth, performing a ritual on the top of the waterfall, drinking the black potion, its flesh and DNA begin to decompose, the DNA continues to split into smaller molecules, and the molecules that fall into the water re-converge to form new life. This is the origin of life on Earth, and the "engineer" is the creator of mankind.
Creator "Engineer"
"Prometheus" is a far more macroscopic perspective than the human world, re-understanding the world, exploring the origin and future direction of human beings.
Immediately afterward, under the guidance of the "engineer", humans came to the planet lv223, trying to meet and talk to the Creator in order to prolong the length of human life. Carrying this daunting mission is the Prometheus spacecraft.
The Prometheus spacecraft
David, a cyborg created by humans, is an important player in the journey of the "engineer". The human crew needed to hibernate in space for 2 years, during which time the task of controlling the ship was entrusted to David.
Law Shark plays David the Cyborg
Prometheus managed to reach the planet Engineer and discovered a building. The scientist then led Dr. Xiao into the building. Of course, this is also the beginning of all nightmares.
In the building, many strange things were found: frescoes, giant human face sculptures, "biological brains" and numerous jars that resemble primitive urns with black viscous liquids. The reconnaissance team brought the "biological brain" back to the ship, and David also brought back a primitive urn. Due to the arrival of humans, creatures spawned by the mysterious "black water" have been awakened.

Scientists have found that the DNA of the "biological brain" brought back is consistent with humans, and they are convinced that the "biological brain" is the "engineer" who created human beings.
When the helmet of the "biological brain" is opened, it is the "engineer"
While exploring the building, crew members Mib and Farder break up with the team and lose contact. Mib is attacked to death by an unknown creature, and Farder falls into the original urn and loses track.
Mibu was attacked by unknown creatures
After analyzing the mysterious "black water", David put the material from the original urn into the wine of scientist Harlowe for the sake of experiments. As the team returns to the building to find the missing Mibb and Fallder, Halloway is infected by David's substance and chooses to sacrifice himself.
Harlowe and the heroine, Dr. Shaw, are lovers
Farder, who had been missing before, appeared outside the prometheus cabin door inexplicably, but he underwent a strange change, transformed into a zombie-like monster shape, and was burned to death after killing several crew members in a row.
Dr. Shaw is heartbroken by the death of her boyfriend, but discovers that she was pregnant when she had a relationship with her infected boyfriend Harlowe 10 hours ago! Dr. Shaw sensed something was wrong and immediately removed the unknown creature from his stomach in the surgical pod.
The blood index is extremely high here!
At the same time, Dr. Shaw also discovers that the boss Willan is also aboard the Prometheus, and he wants to use the "engineer" to save himself from dying.
David discovers that the "Engineer" is still alive during his second exploration of the remains! The scientist and boss Welland and his party set out to try to talk to the Creator "Engineer", but instead, the "Engineer" attacks and tries to destroy humanity! Welland died, David's head was cut off, and only Dr. Shaw escaped.
David, whose head was severed, could still speak
After learning the truth about the Engineer's attempt to go to Earth to destroy mankind, the crew of the Prometheus successfully prevented the disaster from happening by driving the Ship into the Engineer's ship in order to prevent the Engineer from going to Earth. But the crew all died.
The "Engineer"'s spaceship, which is huge...
In the end, only Dr. Shaw survived, and in order to find the truth that the "engineer" created mankind and destroyed mankind, she and David, who only had the head left, flew into the universe in the "engineer" spaceship.
At the end of the film, the creature born from Dr. Shaw's body has grown up! Powerful! He actually killed the "engineer" and gave birth to the most classic and perfect killing machine in film history from the corpse of the "engineer", the birth of the first alien.
Dr. Shaw gave birth to a large octopus-shaped face-hugging monster
