New Alien: Covenant Production Still Shows Covenant's Cryo-Storage

Everything Alien did in 79 doesn't work today. Take mothers chamber for instance, or the display screens. Star Wars is differently, because it is a universe on its own, While Alien is trying to portray OUR future.

Worked fine in Alien: Isolation.

Looked fine in Alien: Isolation.  Brilliant even.  But realistically, Amanda would've been retuning doors with some kind of touch screen rather than monochrome with 8 bit graphics.

I always had in mind they were running all stuff on very low consuming power OS.
Something like Linux based terrible with graphics but very efficient.
Touch screen makes more sense though, especially for safety of not having a button/switch down-off.

It could've worked 'in-universe' had that pesky Riddles not had touch screens and handheld holograms in Prometheus.

Or you know, the technology was concieved in 1970s with crt monitors and this was concieved well...now.  Wow, though, for once cryochambers in an alien movie look different. Congrats hollywood, for some originality

They immediately struck me as industrial versions of the 2001 cryotubes.

Anyone got any idea on the size of the Covenant or the number of souls in cryosleep...not the dropship with our protagonists, talking about the orbiting mothership...
