As the sequel to Promethius I would have hoped that the 'Covenant' starts where Promethius left off. Shaw, with android David take off in Meredith Vicker's space craft to confront the "Engineers". (Those who designed the "Aliens" to be the anti-personnel weapon that they are.) You know, ask the big questions like "and you altered us too, didn't you! ....and what was our purpose in your overall scheme?!!

But that trailer makes it look more like just a continuation of the Alien horror story franchise. I hope I'm wrong on this.

Fwiw, I thought Alien Resurrection was an interesting follow-up to Alien III. Genetic engineering on the part of humans. The same idea, to turn the Aliens into a weapon working for the largest corporation.

The whole idea of a society where corporations are as governments unto themselves. It fits into a popular sci-fi myth that may be closer to real than we would like.
