Basically a commercial for Weyland enterprises, Michael Fassbender does a fantastic job explaining what his character is and how it supposedly functions. A must see for Alien fans.

"The Peter Weyland Files: Happy Birthday, David" is a 2.5-minute live action short film from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. It runs for 2.5 minutes and shows us the character in the title played by Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender. Genre is SciFi here (and nothing else) and there is a pretty close connection to Prometheus overall I am sure. So maybe if you really loved that Ridley Scott movie, you can give this very brief one-man show here (unless you count the guy asking questions) a go, but otherwise you can skip it and you really won't be missing much. I myself found it very forgettable and that comes from somebody who actually likes Fassbender a lot. Perhaps his weakest movie, even if that is more because of the script. His performance (and makeup/hair styling) are fairly decent I will admit. Still a thumbs-down overall. Not recommended.
