    Alien takes place 20 years after Covenant, which takes place 10 years after Prometheus.

    There are supposed to be 2-3 more movies between Covenant and Alien that should explain how the eggs got on the ship on LV-426

    Agree, but in alien it was implied that ship had been crashed there for thousands of years.

    David's supposed creation of the xenomorphs and the crashed ship on LV-426 would seem to be an inconsistency that needs to be resolved.

    I saw it last Saturday. The whole movie was predictable. Sounds like one inept decision by a newly crowned ships captain sent them all to doom. Meh, it was just ok for me, I might go see it again just to make sure I didn't miss any details.

    Saw it last night. I would give it 6/10. It was entertaining but it created more problems than it solved in the whole Alien timeline.

    Agreed, now a human created cyborg is making the xenomorphs? Good lord, the head spins.....until it comes off.

    One theory out there is that this is Ridley Scott's way of flipping his middle finger to the studios from James Cameron's Aleins onward and is going a completely different direction. One possible Easter egg, and it would MAMMOTH is that the "space jokey" in the original Alien is not an Engineer and instead David, Tennessee, or even Daniels inside Engineer space suit.

    In Prometheus the crew sets out to discover the ancient astronauts that had visited Earth in the past and created humanity. There is no clear explanation as to why the Convenient crew and the 2k colonists in cyrosleep left Earth. David tells Walter that the human race is dying, presumably having to leave Earth due to the planet dying and that humans don't deserve to start over. David is angry with humanity for creating him and his kind to be their servants. Discovering the Engineers bio weapon was his chance to wipe out humans and play god himself.

    AI is the real antagonist here, not the aliens as they are just a means to an end.
