I expected higher quality

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2017)

There were a couple of continuity errors that I saw during this movie.

There were two aliens from the ground troops, yet after the crew is attacked in the field, they never see one of them again. If they did end up killing one of them, they didn't focus on it enough to be recognized and remembered.

How did David get away with using his own security code? And how did David's hair become so clean cut after his fight with Walter? Especially when he used those terrible shears.

There are plenty of other things left to say about this movie including:

Not a single person in the crew knows or realizes that Walter spontaneously loses his self healing abilities when they get back on the ship.

The pilot of the lander should've kept herself locked in the quarantine lab, too. She got sprayed in the face with blood and she's part of trained crew that is supposed to handle high pressure situations.

Captain Oram has basically no emotion when his wife dies in the lander explosion. Also no one saw the creature run off the lander ramp before it goes up in flames (that includes both the characters and the audience).

I enjoyed the movie overall, though, simply for entertainment purposes and the nostalgia factor. The cinematics are good, but nothing notable. Action scenes are tense, but the emotion from most of the actors is mediocre. The end could've been handled better because myself, as well as the group I was with, knew immediately that it wasn't truly Walter. That fact was very obvious and upsetting. I gave this movie a 6/10 because it's fun to watch, but it doesn't do a very good job at closing doors in the Alien franchise. It's not very artistic, but it's still good entertainment. However, those continuity errors are just unforgivable coming from someone like Ridley Scott.
