Alien: Covenant
The overall record undersells Alien: Covenant. 32% across 169 head-to-head matchups looks average until you look at how the numbers shift as a tournament progresses. Scott returned to the franchise with philosophical ambition that divided the audience clean down the middle. Fassbender's dual performance gives it a hook, but not everyone came for philosophy. It ranks among the weakest 2010s performers on the platform.
Synopsis
The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise but is actually a dark, dangerous world.
From 21% to 50% across the bracket. Alien: Covenant is one of those rare films that improves against harder opposition — the final-round version is a different competitor than the one that started.
Prometheus is the easy matchup at 82%. Alien is the kryptonite at 21%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Alien: Covenant can and can't handle.
In All the Alien Movies, Ranked, Alien: Covenant regularly reaches the final — then runs into Aliens. At 36%, it hasn't found the answer.
In Ridley Scott's filmography, Alien: Covenant ranks #4 of 4. Alien leads at 69%; Prometheus at 50% trails.
