Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2017)

However! The coincidence that all the active crew members suddenly have a sharp drop in I.Q. to get them into said trouble is not cheating, just terrible story telling.
The senior crew members would not go down to an uninhabited planet without any kind of EV suits without first checking for hazardous things whilst actually there. Hazardous things such as killer airborne parasites. This is really basic stuff that mediocre/average writers would have maybe gotten away with about 20+ years ago but doing so now just eliminates all sense of realism/immersion.
Also their sheer stupidity made me not want to roof for any of the characters. If you do something that stupid then frankly you deserve everything that comes to you.
With all that out the way, the good parts. The action sequences were quite good at times, the shoot out between the soldiers & the first creatures in the high grass was done pretty well. The final fight between the Xenomorph & the crew on the shuttle, not bad.
The music was in keeping with the Alien franchise which is always a no brainer. Except for those unnecessarily long flute scenes.
The ending though. If you didn't immediately think that Walter was actually David & you're more than 10 years old, then I have some bad news you for. One of the most obvious twists in recent cinematic history.
The studio needs to go back to Alien & Aliens & ask themselves what made those films so great & go from there. If not then just leave the franchise alone. Please.
