This is not Alien.

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2017)

This movie is not any of the ones that came before it. It's been said before in many reviews: Alien is a masterpiece in SciFi/Horror because it was a first. So was Predator, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Matrix and so on... Get used to it. There is only one first. Given that I can say that the best follow up in cinema history is, without a doubt, Aliens.
Listen very carefully to the first exchange between Weyland and David. That is a what the two latest movies are all about. Don't blame Ridley Scott for your lack of imagination or your expectations of what once was.
This is what Alien will become in 1979.
