Alien: Covenant

Rising Star Gets stronger in later rounds
2017 · Horror, Science Fiction · Ridley Scott

The overall record undersells Alien: Covenant. 37% across 132 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 sits at #3 of the 3 Ridley Scott films tracked here.

Synopsis

From 26% to 47% 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 90%. Alien is the kryptonite at 26%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Alien: Covenant can and can't handle.
