A return to form
Wow! What a wild ride.
I've always been a huge fan of the alien franchise. Aliens is and always will be my favourite movie. Everything about that movie is incredible to me.
I gave this movie a 9 for the sheer nostalgia factor alone, although upon reflection it's probably more like an 8.
The visuals and intensity along with the music and performances were all very well done and the script was solid and to the point.
I think the only thing I didn't like about it is that it felt at times like it needed a bit more time to breathe. And while it moved at an incredibly fast pace and seemed to go by in a blink. There was a certain rushed feeling to it. Yet that's still not much a problem to me.
There are some reveals which I really enjoyed but the obvious CGI to accomplish it pulled me out of the moment a bit.
And any time a line was re-used from the previous films as a call back that didn't land with me. At no point should movies do this. I think the only time I liked it was in Terminator 2 when Arnie said I'll be back.
Overall I think everyone should rush out and see this on the biggest theatre screen possible.
