I prit near lost my tiny little mind some years ago when, sitting in a movie theater, the trailers came on and the first one for “Prometheus” started. I was hooked from the instant I recognized that “Alien” music. And then… I actually saw “Prometheus.”

Hmmmmph.

So, there will soon be a sequel to “Prometheus,” “Alien: Covenant.” I’ve kept my enthusiasm down to a dull “meh.” If early reports are correct, I might have been right to do so.

Alien: Covenant May Be the Biggest Disappointment of the Summer
