Long waited new authentic Alien movie arrived

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2017)

I have been waiting for authentic continuation of Alien story since Aliens (1986). I'm glad that this movie was the one.
Here is what I like and not so much in this movie:
The pros:
-The story. The story was interesting to watch and kept me glued to the screen. I liked the pace of the movie. The move had a balanced combination of dialog, fight scenes, planet exploration scenes. It did not look neither forced nor stretched - just right.
-The characters. Many of them are easily likable. The character development maybe not perfect, but it works for me. I see that characters were selected carefully: they are different and look like real people.
-The sound. I watched the movie in IMAX. I was impressed by realistic and deep sound of the guns.
-The music. The music composed with respect to original Alien and Aliens. It has music elements its predecessors and this works well on integrity of this movie within Alien franchise.
-Fight scenes. The fights are intense, dynamic and well- orchestrated. Many of them have some jump scare moments.
-Visual design. The visuals are great. The ship design inside out, the habituated planet - all look rich and bright.
The cons:
-One of the main protagonist in the movie is Daniels (Katherine Waterston). The actress plays her role well. However, her makeup and haircut are very awkward, and this is a miss. If they wanted her to look like Ripley, the attempt failed.
-Ridley Scott, like in his Prometheus, selects main hero to be a woman that automatically makes us comparing her to Ripley. It is sad to say that Ripley easily wins this comparison: her performance and character are one of a kind.
