saw it.
1. wasn’t scary enough
2. too many corny and poorly placed callbacks to the original film
3. andy but the guy that plays him is a good actor. idk i just hate how they characterized him i was not feeling that.
4. protagonist was kind of whatever. not nearly as strong or compelling as sigourney or sanaa in avp
5. side characters were bland
overall felt a little hollow. like all the way around. but the effects with the outside views of the ships against the rings were very cool.
I don't have the mental capacity to remember every Aliens film in detail to really give a shyt about callbacks. It all seem fresh, visually striking, and inventive to me
This was FANTASTIC! I loved it. I loved it so much. It's not my favorite or the best Alien movie, but it's definitely ONE OF THE BEST in the series, maybe #3 for me. We had so much fun with this one. I don't know what people are talking about in terms of saying there's nothing new here. Some of the things they did have not ever been done in the series before, and definitely not in this way. It was so fukking creative and cool in parts, and gruesome and crazy tense in other parts. My only real problem was
I don't know how I feel about the black dude being the synthetic droid, because I have beef with the way Black folks are always portrayed as non-human and/or the problematic administrator in these types of movies, but even here, I have to give them credit for trying to bring some complexity to his character and his relationship with the lead. I just wish for once, the Black character was like everyone else and/or the human lead, but that's my own quibble, it doesn't distract from the movie. I really enjoyed the kills too, and the call backs. That was really cool. I don't quite understand why
they were allowed to leave in that ship if they had to save up to travel, but maybe there's an understanding in this world you can't go far without the equipment so leaving the planet isn't really a big deal cause you can't go anywhere. Still, I thought things like that and them being able to board and scavenge the ship so easily was a little too convenient. Also, I was hoping they would tie it more into Aliens too, and explain the colony the marines in that movie landed on, but I guess there's a lot of time for more movies to squeeze into between this and that movie in terms of the timeline.
And I knew that girl
was going to have an alien baby or something because they kept focusing on her stomach and she wasn't even that far along. Plus she shoudl have died like 8 times lol. But that hybrid thing was CRAZY. Like Killer Klowns from Outer Space CRAZY. They really went there! I can't believe that thing was eating it's own mother. ROFL. Yo, this was straight up horror.
The coolest things were the zero-gravity shooting and floating acid scene. That was creative AF. Also, the hybrid monster screaming in her face and trying to crack her mask lol. Just work.

His role was the heart of the film. I don't think anyone else could of done it as well. The synthetic are typically the best character of the Alien films. It felt super refreshing such a prominent role in the series was clearly given to the best actor and someone challenged and bested other before him. Ian Holmes, Michael Fassbender, Lance Henriksen. Now... David Jonsson. Which he belongs among them. He was fantastic.
I do wonder if Fede could do a more abstract film if they do a sequel that isn't Young people walk into a murder house for the night... Or space station.
