Loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2018)

I watched this randomly about 4 years after it was initially released. While I own Alien 1-4, and believe that Alien is still the best of all time, I was actually clueless that this was part of the Alien storyline until the very end.
I really enjoyed this backstory, and thought it was rather well done compared to the recent Alien Covenant. The actors did a great job, and no I don't dispute that many of them made stupid mistakes, but that didn't mar the plot at all in my opinion, and I retained my interest throughout. I enjoyed the history lesson, and liked how it left the door open to so many possibilities in the end. Granted, that door led to Covenant, but outside of that, this movie was great.
