The spaceship Covenant is transporting frozen embryos to a human colony on a faraway planet when they receive a distress signal from Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), from the Prometheus expedition, which disappeared 10 years prior. The crew is brought out of hypersleep to answer to the signal, which leads to the death of the Covenant's captain, Branson (James Franco). His wife, terraforming researcher Daniels (Katherine Waterson), is deeply affected by the accident, while Branson's first officer Oram (Billy Crudup) is made captain. The Covenant is piloted by Daniels's friend Tennessee (Danny McBride) and the crew is aided by an android, Walter (Michael Fassbender).
The Covenant follows Shaw's signal to Paradise, an uncharted forest planet and homeworld of the Engineers, the ancient extraterrestrials that seeded life on Earth and then sought to the destroy it. The Engineers' secret weapon, the black ooze, has spread through Paradise, turning it into a wasteland. The Covenant's crew ventures into Paradise on a transport shuttle, and two of its members are exposed to spores released by plants infected by the ooze. One of them is quarantined aboard the transport shuttle, where a monstrous "Neomorph" bursts from his back and kills a crewmember. While trying to kill it, another crewmember accidentally shoots the shuttle's fuel tank, causing it to explode.
Another Neomorph bursts from the other infected crewmember's throat and chases the remaining crew into the forest, where they are ambushed by more Neomorphs and all but Daniels, Tennessee, Oram and Walter are slaughtered. They are rescued from the Neomorphs by David (Michael Fassbender), the sole survivor of the Prometheus crew. He reveals that Shaw sacrificed herself to crash the Juggernaut spaceship against Paradise's surface, exposing the Engineers to the black ooze to prevent them from destroying Earth, which also left him stranded on Paradise.
David leads the survivors back to the Engineers' derelict citadel, where he's been living ever since. Walter spends time with David, who regards Walter as his brother, but comes to mistrust David upon realizing he is not behaving in accordance with their programming. Walter learns that David's mind has been warped by the numerous modifications that their creator, Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), made to his programming during the Prometheus's expedition, and that David is obsessed with creating the "perfect organism". David exposed numerous lifeforms on Paradise, including Shaw, with the black ooze and, after several failed attempts, has created an alien egg, which produces a facehugger that latches itself to Oram.
Daniels and Tennessee realize David is controlling the Neomorphs and flee back to the Covenant with Oram and Walter in order to escape. Together, Daniels, Tennessee and Walter manage to detonate explosives to destroy David's laboratory, with the Neomorphs and David himself apparently perishing in the explosion.
The four return to the Covenant, where a xenomorph bursts out of Oram and begins slaughtering the remaining crew until Daniels and Tennessee manage to lure him into an airlock and eject him into the void of space, where it dies. The duo are the sole survivors of the massacre and place themselves back in hypersleep to continue their voyage to the colony, unaware that David has killed Walter and stolen his identity to leave Paradise, and that it was Walter who died in the explosion. David secretly plants alien egg embryos among the human frozen embryos that the Covenant is transporting to continue with his experiments.

What will happen to HBO after Game of Thrones and Westworld end? From what I understand, they really are struggling to compete with Amazon and Netflix and aside from those two series, none of their stuff is taking off.
>>82490056
They're looking into 4 different spin off ideas for Game of Thrones
They don't have anything that's sci-fi and/or fantasy, and those are the things that are in right now. They should focus on making a new adaptation of an old tv series like BSG, or novel series.
I for one recommend that they look into Honor Harrington. Female main character. lots of books, very expansive story that could last a lot of seasons. I think it would do really well on television, especially with an HBO budget.
HBO needs to offer free shipping. That's why I have Amazon.
>When you see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and realize Stan Lee is the key to all of this.
>>82489944
He's gonna die before Infitine 2
>>82489969
Even if he dies. They will probably CG him in for all of eternity
>>82489944
I'm just glad they finally made it canon.
>>82489969
James Gunn has filmed the next half-dozen Stan Lee cameos, and even if that wasn't the case, Rogue One has proven that not even death can keep Disney from using your likeness.

How the fuck do we save movies?
>>82489632
movies don't need saving, there's nothing wrong with them, it's only hollywood that's dying
>>82489782
But why the fuck are movies juvenile?
>>82490270
Because narrative structured entertainment is largely juvenile in its very nature. It's why you read novels as a kid and textbooks and nonfiction as an adult.
kino moments:
>when he was at the Phoenix convention and you can see just by his facial expressions that he realizes that he's no different or healthier than before he met the master
>when he goes home to his old gf's home and realizes he could have had happiness if he hadn't wasted his time with a false family
>that sad but cathartic ending, this character will probably never be completley healed but for a few moments of real intimacy he's made a little bit better.
This movie is kino and the portrayal of cult dynamics is dead on. Also Joaquin Phoenix's performance is excellent (PSH being excellent is a given.)
The Master is PTA's attempt at outing poseurs by making something utterly disjointed that vaguely resembles a narrative feature just enough that it confuses them into praising it out of fear for being labelled a pleb.
An intentionally terrible movie carefully emulating a masterpiece. A true work of genius. Why do you think the plot of the film involves a cult leader who feigns insight and brilliance but is secretly full of shit? It's a metaphor for the film itself.
tl;dr if you think The Master is actually good you're a "pleb"
>>82489478
The Master is the last good movie made in Hollywood. And it was like 5 years ago or something. Fuck obama second term ruined hollywood with the liberal agenda.
Can we all agree the Master is PTA's best work and at least top 5 movies of the century so far?
Pure kino

This was one of the worst Asian movies I've ever seen. Train to Busan was better.

Is this gun-kino?
fuck yes
There is no such thing as gun-kino.
Go buy a gun, apply for license, sign up for membership at a range, or whatever. Just go out and shoot. That experience is not replicable on film.
