Good movie but felt like a remake of 1979 Alien

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2017)

I'm a huge fan of Alien series. Really liked Prometheus, and was looking forward to this one ever since they decided to do it. Let me be honest, I saw the trailer, the prologue and other stuff they did before watching the movie, suffice to say I was pumped.
The trailer and prologue threw me in another direction, and I was imagining a different kind of movie than it turned out to be, which for me was both a good and bad thing. Good in a way that one specific character turned out to be the opposite of what I had speculated from the trailer. Bad in a way that the movie started off differently but ultimately became a remake of the original Alien in my opinion. Katherine Waterston character 'Daniels' even wore similar clothes like Sigourney Weaver did in her role as Ellen Ripley in the predecessor.
Michael Fassbender was brilliant in his dual role. As a whole the movie was good but not great, and it felt as if it was missing something which I can't put my finger on. I would give it solid 6 for acting and telling us more about Alien mythology.
