Disappointing. after the hype I was expecting better, I REALLY wanted to like this but I just got "more expensive, more CGI, more effects".
I don't know what all that guff was about "keep it real if you can and holding back on the CGI". I mean the technical credits at the end of the movie were still rolling when I got up the next day.And the day after that....
I liked all the Alien franchise, and have a very soft spot for "Aliens" but.... I did wonder why it was, when there were helmet cams to keep everyone tracked, that two characters were bumped off and nobody noticed.
Unless they were all shagging at the time.
I did wonder at how well a person can abseil and perform gymnastics after having her body held together with a few surgical staples.
I'm not sure where in the alien life cycle we've noticed that it takes over a human body and turns it into some sort of homicidal zombie.
I really didn't think this bunch of losers would be trusted to get a can of beans from the local store never mind rediscover a new civilisation.
I'll stop there. Love the Alien movies. This one had more lose ends than a bucket of meal worms and more holes than a string vest. Lazy. Try harder. With a better script, plot and less CGI.
