Better than Resurrection & AVPR, on par with AVP.
This is a DECENT movie. Unfortunately NOTHING happens for the first 40 mins and none of the people this 40 mins is about are very likable or interesting. Once it kicks into gear - it's GOOD. I'd the ending was a little lackluster - almost the exactly same feeling as covenant's ending...a little meh. The nostalgia factor is the best thing this movie has going. The links to the greater universe are BRILLIANT...Aside from AVPR, ALL the films are worth watching when it's time for a re-watch and thankfully this will be included (although like every movie I will make my own cut with a few trims). It's not fantastic, and because the beg was SO dull and uninvolving the movie feels long, until the end when you wish there was more and there's no time left lol. Overall it's uneveness is it's biggest downfall. Not the best Alien movie - I still say it goes Alien 3 (PC(, Aliens (DC), Alien (DC), Prometheus, Covenant, AVP & Resurrection) not the worst (AVPR). If anything PREY deserved a theatrical run and THIS should have gone to hulu. I love don't breathe 1 & 2 but other than that I'm not really sold on alverez. I really thought this movie was gonna lead into Aliens but they went with a throwback instead - which was cool don\t get me wrong - and I hope we get Prometheus 3 even if it's on hulu, THEN they can do a sequel to this.
