Not reinventing the Alien wheel

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2017)

But that doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Alien or otherwise, as in Science Fiction Horror in general. After Prometheus got slammed by many, for not being like an Alien movie, Ridley returns with a movie that can be called that (not just title wise). Of course it still will not appeal and please everybody. The classics are just on a different level and while he plans to continue the backstory of one of most beloved Science Fiction franchises, the question is, if he'll keep using themes that we are so familiar with? Or try something different and new? Whatever direction he'll go, people are already aiming.
Having said all that, we do get a crew of people who should know better. And Michael Fassbender really bringing all to his role and although he's supposed to be without emotion, he actually has some. Not so much a wonder if you have to deal with humans I reckon. Cinematography is without fault, I saw this at an Imax and it was incredible. The framing, the sound design, everything is fitting. Being aware of certain things, you may see where this is going, so the experience may actually not be as grand as it could be. But this is still rock solid ...
