Intelligent and Purposeful

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2017)

This film is spectacular. It allows the franchise a much needed breath of fresh air. No clichés, no stereotypes but with all the menace and terror of the original movie. It's a real shame its successor 'Alien: Covenant' is such a let down.
The set up of the Engineers was skilfully added and allowed the viewer to take onboard a broader perspective. After all, if you want a ship in a bottle type of movie with a very narrow perspective then don't bother with sequels just stick to the original.
