Hey critics! "YOU got the film you deserve!"

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2017)

First things first I don't think this film is great but I do think it's decent and belongs unapologetically in the Alien franchise (unlike Alien: Res-erection or those god awful AVP films). While there are a lot of fair criticisms there is also a lot of unfair ones too.
By all means this film suffers most in that it knows what it wants to be, however the studio doesn't want to go all out on that concept because of the lukewarm response Prometheus got. And so we got a sequel to Prometheus that was hastily stitched together with the xenomorphs and facehuggers that a lot of people complained about being absent in Prometheus.
I believe the haters of this film and Prometheus got exactly what they deserve in this flick.
This film delves into compelling aspects of creation and evolution that are very disturbing and set this film apart as quite original, I've never seen these concepts explored in such a creepy and effective way. True I saw the David twist at the end coming but that did not take away from that sinking feeling of terror as Daniels' eyes light up in horror as David "tucks the children in". This scene in particular brings this really haunting feeling that stuck with me long after the film ended and everyone in the theatre ran home to write stupid reviews with one star and complain about "Why are the robots kissing goddamnit!! This didn't happen in the other Alien films therefore BAD!!".
Seriously chill out this film is at worst mediocre. 1/10 review scores just show how reactionary and histrionic you are. Two viewings with deep analysis and I see no justification for less than a 5/10 definitely a film worth seeing.
