Excellent sci-fi horror flick, has flaws however.

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2019)

The effects really do shine along with the drama and intense atmosphere. I at first didn't like the film that much and if it didn't grow on me I would give it a 7. However looking at it I learned to appreciate the effects and how much atmosphere is built up in the film surrounding mainly the aspect of space and aliens, of course. I really enjoyed the movie however there are some writing issues I have that play into the scenes. They mess up the scenes a little making normal ones drawn out and that bugs me. The pacing can be not the best also. Aside from minor issues like that, I really enjoyed this movie. I love the characters, especially Ripley and the doctor. I am blown away by the alien designs, they truly look out of this world. Endless praise from this movie most of the time. 8/10.
