A good add on to the original films. The special effects are fantastic, the deep fake on Ian Holm could have been a little better but was still good.

This is one of the best movies in the franchise. It was really compelling and terrifying, and it had amazing visuals. I definitely recommend it for sci-fi and thriller fans!

This is really bad. It felt like a cheesy ripoff.
So many things were not thought through.
It brings nothing new or good to the franchise.
The acting is horrible too.

I watched in a Cinema, all by myself. I waited for the movie to become 30 days old. Then, late night movie time, 2200. All cinema to myself. Best thing Ive done in years. Scary but oh so sweet.

Poorly done and cheaply made. Not even in the same league as the last two releases. Special effects were poorly lacking. Acting was in the same league as crappy B movies. I found more entertainment in Friday The 13th movies.

I have complicated thoughts. Every positive I have can be matched to a criticism.

How does this have such a high rating? It recycles everything, every scene, every beat, without an original idea in the bunch. It felt like it was written by a committee of 30 year old Disney execs who had just watched edits of the first movies and decided, "That one thing was cool... do it here too!" a few dozen times.
This cast was solid, they worked with what they had... the visual direction was pretty good... but there was absolutely nothing new in this in any way. It was head-in-hands bad!

As good an entry in the Alien franchise as we've had in the series since after the second film - though not up to the impossibly high standards of the first two. A young group of miners are trying to sneak out of a mining colony via an abandoned ship, only to discover ... well, you can probably guess. There are many references to the first film - mostly they work well, with one weirdly unnecessary exception. Aesthetically and thematically it's a good fit - this is a group of workers suffering under the boot of the corporation, and much of the film looks and feels deliberately low-fi, echoing the first film (with an opening section that also nods to Blade Runner). There's a lot of claustrophobic running around corridors, and Alvarez's spare, economic direction echoes the cold-hearted nastiness of the first film. If it's about twenty minutes too long, it's also comprised of a number of impressive set-pieces that keep the genuine excitement and fear ticking over. Even if most of the series from the third film onwards is unnecessary, this film at least gets close to getting an often directionless franchise back on track.

I didn't expect it but I really enjoyed this movie. My favorite aliens is the second one as it has the best character development. This one's development is also pretty good and the story also well formed. No one's going to replace Ripley but this is a good, enjoyable piece
