"Alien: Covenant - Meet Walter" is a 2.5-minute live action short film and as the title already suggests this takes place in the universe of the Alien/Prometheus movies directed by Ridley Scott. So no surprise that this one here was directed by his son Luke. Overall, despite the addition of Michael Fassbender who I like quite a bit, this felt like a really forgettable short film to me. The music is perhaps the most memorable aspect, but M.F. does not have any chance to shine given the script. It is really all about the sets and effects here. Not enough for me and I believe you must really adore SciFi to see anything appealing in here. Or just really love the films I mentioned earlier. i myself would say that 2 stars out of 5 is still very much on the generous side. Style over substance and I don't recommend checking it out, not even at this runtime.
