Name: Alien: Covenant - Meet Walter
Genre: Short, Sci-Fi
Released: 2017-03-10
Duration: 3 min
Rating: 6.5
Cast: Michael Fassbender

This short shows the creation of Walther the android. We see the two androids working on an android-in-progress and then later on, waking up Walter who has now gained human appearance, inluding hair, skins, etc. Visually, this clip is si-fi at its best - the android body looks amazing - as do the two androids creating Walter - and the whole scene with slow-motion and a fitting music creates an impeccable impression of future robotic technology that aims to create robots indistinguishable from humans.

Originating with Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic, the Alien franchise fuses deep-space exploration with body horror and corporate cynicism. Known for its iconic Xenomorph and groundbreaking heroines, it redefined both science fiction and horror aesthetics across films, series, and games.

The artificial intelligence, or A.I., subgenre features the concept of artificial intelligence and its impact on society, humanity, and the future. These stories often focus on the creation, development, and interactions of intelligent machines and raises questions about the ethical, moral, and existential implications of a future where AI plays a significant role.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
