Review by glvandermeer

Initially I had great hopes for what seemed like a stand alone New Alien film, and the early trailers looked good, but I was disappointed within the first 10 minutes to see the bad dialog and poor storyline just spiral into what was a waste of time, the characters were all too young to be taking on the actions of knowledgeable characters within this story, and you don't spend any time with any of them long enough to either care or understand who they are, this easily could just be the latest installation of the film franchise "Scream" set in space, the dialog is poorly written and the talentless cast delivers it with with equal ineptness, if there is a bright side it's the art direction and the practical EFX, but the blatant copied shots and thematic scenes stollen from the original '79 film, do nothing to add to the film, rather they actually make you yearn for a rewatch. After 10 minutes of this film I lost patience with the poor acting, the terrible dialog and the infantile story line, don't waste your time, watch the original again instead.
