A mixed review on the new Alien film.....

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2017)

** CONTAINS SPOILERS **
Overall the new Alien film was a good follow on further into it's world, but there were a few things that I thought could have easily been changed or thought into more within the story it's self. Firstly, the whole thing with the crew going down to the planet to look into it and see where a 'song' sound came from that they hear over the radio is just ridiculous. They decided to send around 10 people down into the planet when they could've sent around 4 and had less people to look out for if something were to happen, which it did. Also the characters acted dumb, in the medical bay when the one woman brings the infected guy into the quarantine zone, she turns around to get out but the other woman has locked her in.....? I have no idea why she thought that would be a good idea when, the woman who locked the other woman in there, had blood on her face from the guy who was infected. So she made it worse by putting herself and others in danger. She basically left the girl in there to die, but went back when she heard her calling out and by the time she got back the other girl had basically been killed. Don't get me wrong, I love the Alien films and I don't HATE this film I just think it could've been thought into a bit more. I mean I guess there are different ways people react in these situations but locking someone in... surely that's the last resort and I don't believe the other girl was infected. The ending was annoying as well, because they should of asked the android security questions to see if it wasn't the real one. I thought the gore in the film was amazing though, that actually made me feel a bit, sick. The way it showed how the Aliens started off as well was great and I liked how it showed them becoming their actual size and colour throughout the film as it shows them being a white little Alien at the beginning and they gradually become the scary black creatures that are seen in the previous films.
