A quick change of pace, which may leave the viewer confused.

Rating: 5/10 (12 March 2017)

This film had me stepping back a bit to try and understand exactly how it happened. One of the main problems I had was the Alien's sudden change in it's life cycle. Not only was the creature born of a dog (in some versions of the film, an Ox) but it emerged immediately as an adult. There was no larval stage. I am also trying to understand why an Ox would ever be hanging out on a trans-galaxy prison ship. I do however find this version of the alien nearly twice as terrifying, as it moves at lighting speed, can climb walls and ceilings, and is a force to be reckoned with. Although the use of CGI is quite often visible, I wouldn't necessarily say it took away from the film. Definitely not one of the best in the Alien series, but probably my least favorite.
