Having watched Alien: Covenant and feeling rather disappointed with it (for various reasons, especially the poor decision-making of the characters), I was glad that a bit of subsequent research revealed this clip on YouTube. I initially agreed with the other reviewers that it should have been part of the movie, but now I'm less sure. The extra effort of looking around for further information resulted in a sweet little reward, and I'm assuming that others have had similar sentiments. Why should a movie experience rely on an effortless spoon-fed supply that is so easily forgotten if being forced to make a bit of an effort results in viewers getting rather more out of it in return? Anyway, The Crossing is beautifully shot and composed, the atmosphere dark and foreboding. The clip provides various bits of information that link Prometheus and Covenant. As in both films, Fassbender is magnificent. The aesthetics of the arrival scene are incredible, and the godlike presence assumed by David could not be better emphasised than the lines from Percy Shelley's Ozymandias. Wish it were longer :)
