You've gotta watch this fantastic 5-minute clip for Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant that's been released. It serves as a prologue that does a fantastic job introducing us to the entire crew of the colonization ship, Covenant.

The clip is called "Prologue: Last Supper" and the main crew, who are all couples, and their android, Walter, gather together for one last meal together before they enter cryosleep. They are on their way to a remote planet where the crew will form a new human settlement.

It's really interesting to learn that all of the passengers on the ship are couples who are going to start a whole new human settlement. That's going to make for an incredibly fascinating dynamic. This clip is such a great way to introduce us to these new characters, but don't get too attached! Remember this is an Alien movie, which means most of them are going to meet their horrific demise.

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco. it's set to open in theaters on May 19.

The official prologue to Alien: Covenant introduces the crew of the mission as they gather for a final meal before entering cryosleep. Set aboard the Covenant, a colonization ship on its way to a remote planet to form a new human settlement, the main crew (all couples) and their android, Walter, enjoy their final meal together before cryosleep.
