I didn't get a chance to watch this in movie theaters. I'm a huge fan of the "Alien" franchise. I was anticipating a great space thriller and I'm a little disappointed.
First, this film is a homage to "Alien" (1979), "Aliens" (1986), "Alien 3" (1991) and "Alien: Resurrection" (1997). You have to be a fan of these movies to catch all of the throwback references. Especially with the android(s).
Second, the set design is fantastic and scary. At a certain point in the film. It became claustrophobic.
Third, it has become a more gross out "attacks" by the Aliens. It's a different take and effective.
That's all there is folks.... I didn't care about any of the characters including the lead "Rain" (Cailee Spaeny). We never find out who she is but only an orphan. She and her brother are part of a group of misfits.
What I love about Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in the first four films. We care about who she is and where she came from. She wakes up screaming from nightmares about an alien. Her battle is to fight this thing in space and not get impregnated by the species. This battle crosses four films.
