One last supper before the nightmare begins — and nobody suspects a thing.
The official prologue to Alien: Covenant introduces the crew of the mission as they gather for a final meal before entering cryosleep. Set aboard the Covenant, a colonization ship on its way to a remote planet to form a new human settlement, the main crew (all couples) and their android, Walter, enjoy their final meal together before cryosleep.
Acting
Fassbender's Walter subtly off in ways you'll only catch later.
Direction
Luke Scott frames this like a funeral nobody knows they're attending.
Writing
Every cheerful toast lands like a death knell on rewatch.
