Will the New Alien: Covenant Movie Be as Good as the 3D Printing in this Teaser?

I didn’t mind Prometheus, in fact I enjoyed every single Aliens movie, some more some less. Sure, James Cameron’s Aliens remains my favorite, however the latest teaser for the upcoming Alien: Covenant, the sixth in the franchise, makes me really hope for the best. Not just because it clearly does a “process-placement” operation that 3D printing benefits from, but also because it clearly depicts the direction that manufacturing – including biological manufacturing – is taking and how 3D printing is an absolutely integral part of that.
The generative lines that 3D printing enables in production are the lines of our nature and the curious part is that those lines – which are part of everything that surrounds us – seem alien to us. Those are the shapes of the future of manufacturing – or at least that part of future that we are able to envision now.
Physical special effects seem to really be replacing CG in high end productions. And Alien – together with Star Wars and a few other series – has been set a standard for evil aliens and androids. Alien: Covenant is the third Alien movie directed by Ridley Scott, after the original masterpiece from 1979 and 2012’s Prometheus prequel. In a couple of months we’ll know if 3D printing will help the movie set new standards again.
