Totally lacking atmosphere

Rating: 4/10 (1 October 2017)

I would like to start by saying that the special edition version of this film is not the director's cut but more a lesser version of an average film. The added scenes (as far as I could tell) were just a different beginning, a bit of extra (mainly pointless) dialogue and a little bit added to the ending. I think that the theatrical release is better. The film itself is definitely the weakest of the Alien collection. The first three are really good but this one is just a bit crap. Everything about this lacks the standard of the others. The acting is average, the story tot, the direction uninspired, the effects average, the new cycle in the Alien's life at the end pure garbage and overall very forgettable and pointless fourth installment in a strong trilogy. Totally lacking the atmosphere that the others created. Easily the weakest of the series, the evolution is a travesty.
