Alien: Covenant Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Must See

24. The Covenant

Accepting the narrative curveballs director Ridley Scott will inevitably throw at audiences (if Prometheus is any indication, anyway), at least Covenant is going to be one Hell of a visual feast regardless of how everything else ends up.

An early image in the trailer shows the Covenant flying through space, and much like Scott's recent work on The Martian, the visuals look jaw-droppingly photorealistic. Could Covenant follow Prometheus' lead and score a Best Visual Effects Oscar nomination?

Of course, the ship's totally doomed and all, but at least it looks really cool ahead of the impending chaos.
