Let's caveat that if you intentionally don't watch trailers for movies because you don't want anything spoiled, then this isn't the post for you. We've gone through the entire trailer frame by frame and picked out some of the most badass moments in there. Though really, you'll want to go back and watch it for yourself if you haven't yet. It looks like director Ridley Scott really wants to make it up to all of us fans for the disappointment that was Prometheus.
We've picked these images to start with, and added some color commentary to many of them for the thoughts that struck us as we watched the trailer. Then at the end we just had to turn two into animated gifs. Now you check out the images while we go back to watch the trailer once again.
There seems to be a rule in the Alien movies, when one person is stuck behind a door pounding on it.
Say you're sorry, but never, ever, open it up.
Because whatever is in there that they're trying to get away from?
It's probably not going to be good. And this looks like it's going to leave a hell of a mark in the morning.
She's gonna die, but not without a hell of a fight. She will cut that Alien like she cut sodium out of her diet.
David's eye in closeup
A scene so beautiful it could have stepped out of the end sequences from 2001.
So do we think this is another David model, or the human original?
This is hard to see in a single frame. Remember the floaty DNA stuff from the beginning of Prometheus that changed the Engineer? This seems to be the same stuff, this time heading for a new host.
The alien ship (presumably from Prometheus, and Charlize Theron still squished under it)
It looks to be the "pilot" in his chair that we remember from Alien & Prometheus
Dog tags from the Prometheus crew, or are these from her own crewmates?
Let's review, when an egg opens – run, don't stand there, and don't look…
Well, he looked into it. Ah well.
Now we take off, get back to the orbiting ship, it'll be no prob…. crap.
So it looks like David has become a Jedi? Is this the planet where Luke has been hanging out?
When Ripley's daughter gets handed a pulse rifle, you know things are about to get real.
What started out as a hot moment in the shower looks to be interrupted.
Subtle the Xenomorph is not once it gets up to the glass.
The shower scene ends badly with blood spraying and screaming all around.
And as promised, here's a few animated gifs for your sharing and viewing holiday pleasure. The first, the Covenant moving into orbit. The second, that age-old adage, when something alien and new starts to open up and move. Don't just lean over and look into it. We all know what kind of things happen next; it never, in any film, ends well.

As the cast continues to fill out for the 2020 reboot of Frank Herbert's Dune, one of the sharp-eyed readers of DuneFan2020 twitter account noticed that
After 2018's biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, it seems that it's time for retrospectives looking into the lives and careers of some of the late 20th-century musical icons. However where Rhapsody was a super-sanitized and wildly fictionalized account of Mercury's career, the new Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton as the similarly unique Elton John, is a fantasy-laced full-bore musical that carries far more truth and energy than it's predecessor.
