A good film that ticks most boxes but not all

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2017)

Notably longer than the original, the visual concepts and acting are first class. There are periods of slowness during the film, and the soundtrack unfortunately does not fit in the landscape (sounds too alien and more suited for Prometheus or Aliens Covenant). Small references to the original film are required for plot but thankfully this film's characters and story stands on its own. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
