I thought it was F'ing great!

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2010)

This movie has gotten a lot of negative reviews. But you you know what? I loved it! I have it on DVD and watch it occasionally.
The whole premise, dark atmosphere, etc., different looking Alien and how it/they adapted to this planet, etc. I like it! It was hard that newt died, etc., but that was part of this story. I can see how it might have less of a mass appeal. And maybe how James Cameron made the amazing Aliens movie (one of the best movies of all time), and people expected the same momentum.
It's also certainly more in the spirit of the first two rather then the following sequel. If you haven't seen it yet. Watch it, enjoy and be your own judge.
