Too predictable

Rating: 4/10 (21 October 2017)

I liked the visual effects, and the cast performed very well. However, the story was poor. It would be better if the Alien movies would take a new direction and come up with some fresh ideas.
It's becoming rather dull to see the same scenes with new people over and over again: aliens on the faces, coming out of their bodies. It was too predictable that an alien would be carried back to the ship in the body of someone who had one on his face.
The larger alien attacking the ship was very similar to scenes in previous movies. The idea of the android turning against the crew was too similar to the events in the very first movie. The ending was ambiguous and unsatisfying.
The big budget, with all the talented actors and special effects people, was wasted on a weak story.
