Alien: Planeta Tierra

I really wanted to like this, I was one of those people really excited for a new entry into the Alien Universe...but this is not the Alien Universe, at all. It feels like a typical sci-fi story that happens to have a xenomoprh running around, but the real plot has nothing to do with it. The atmosphere also feels off, it's like watching a fan-made flick with mediocre writing. Even the creature looks wrong, it looks fake, like a plastic puppet.

It's a shame, but since Alien 3 there hasn't been any good secuels, all of them are not able to understand the real myth behind alien.

As an alien fan for 40+ years, I was hopeful that this series could finally revive the franchise. However, what made Alien great was suspense. What made Aliens awesome was action (and a sublime cast, script, and director). Whoever wrote and directed this has completely missed what makes the franchise great; instead, they think it's about horror about grossing people out. They're going for cheap scares and have just completely missed what makes the franchise great. Sad. Hoping it picks up, but based on the direction the series is going, I hold no hopes.

I've just finished the first two episodes. As a fan of the original movie and being in my fifties, this series is definitely not for me. It's got none of the suspense, tension or build of the original, a weird teen genius who eats apples and appears to be a moron, super-fast synthetic children in adult form who move painfully slowly at all times. Sorry but I just found the whole thing utterly ridiculous.

Also - it's still just set in a spaceship, it just happens to be crashed into the side of a building.

Very disappointing.

Boring characters and boring story.

After the disaster of Covenant and the good work with Romulus i was hoping for something better than this jumble of scenes with people talking in a monotonous manner of stupid things or things already said several times before...

Ps: The Kids have a computer brain and they dont use it? This is stupid.

Not talking about the kids in your living room, the on-screen versions are the ones that botched the alien franchise. It COULD have been great, because scenes are well-built and the adult characters work, especially the on-board android, but somehow, someone decided to give the main lead to a 12-year old, that acts and think like a 12-year old, with 10 year old friends as the entourage to battle extremely violent and blood-thirsty monsters. It doesn't work. And the constant switching of timelines and pace deludes the storyline more than helping it. Sorry, my rating is generous. A 12 year old would probably rate it higher, but I am not 12.
