A good but not excellent addition to the Alien franchise

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2017)

I came to this film hoping for a better then the mediocre Prometheus. This improves on that as there is a sense of dread throughout the movie as the nightmarish Xenomorph is once more present. So we have some good action sequences and set pieces plus a twist at the end that may hock some. Not bad but will not satisfy a lot of the die hard fans of the series as it lacks compelling characters aside from the female lead however it carries on the story arc from Prometheus and provides an interesting back story to the Xenomorph and how it came to be. It will be interesting to see if they take this any further. I enjoyed it but it feels like somethings missing or lacking.
