11 Best Scenes From 2017's Summer Blockbusters

9. Walter Vs. David - Alien: Covenant

Alien Covenant Michael Fassbender
Fox

After sinister android David (Michael Fassbender) starts getting incredibly creepy with Daniels (Katherine Waterston), she's rescued by his "brother" Walter (Michael Fassbender), and a dual Fassbender fight kicks off.

The fight isn't particularly long and is intercut with Daniels' escape, but it's simply ridiculously weird and enjoyable seeing these near-identical androids wailing away on each other, especially as Fassbender hurls himself into both roles with so much conviction.

The battle ends on a cliffhanger, with Walter getting the better of David but hesitating to kill him, and the later payoff being that David manages to subdue him, disguise himself as Walter and escape with Daniels and Tennessee (Danny McBride) at the end of the film.

In a movie that makes so many basic and frustrating mistakes, this is easily the most satisfying slice of action there is.
