The right direction for the franchise

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2017)

*** This Review may contain Spoilers ***
I am really glad that the franchise is moving toward this direction of origin rather than the classic slash and gore.
All the alien sequel up to this point have been the repetitive " People messes with alien substance, gets "infected", hack and slash, run away from said alien."
This movie is exactly what alien fans should want to see. It gives us something more than just the generic plot line.
Whats wrong with the movie: -The script and acting: Honestly, the script is pretty bad. The actors are given lines that seemed to be rushed. More are written in spoiler section.
--------------Spoilers ---------------------------------
*Fifield's sudden eruption of anger at Dr. Shaw: Unless fifield's medical history included some psychiatric anger issues, this scene made no sense. Why did he get so angry all of a sudden?
*Cpt Janek (idris elba) response to Dr. Shaw when he discovered what the alien ship's goal is: Definitely not Idris Elba's best acting moments. Pretty much 10 seconds before that, Cpt Janek was ready to ABANDON the rest of the people still on the planet, and then suddenly without ANY hesitation, he decided after Dr. shaw told him pretty much he had to sacrifice himself " OKIE DOKIE, LETS SACRIFICE OURSELVES FOR THE GREATER GOOD"
*Dr. Shaw's Abortion: Okay. So Dr. shaw beats the crap out of two scientists and then runs to get the thing out of her body. Then after that, everyone is super chill about it and act as if oh this scientist didn't just beat the crap out of them.
