Maybe because I'm a Dad of 2 young kids and am somewhat pop culture starved, but i fucking love the look of this, and would be super happy to just sit for 2 hours and watch it!

Headbutts? That a thing now?
May have done better if they cut the sideboob to get a pg13.

Pros: Looks gorgeous in IMAX. The world looks, sounds and feels very Alien. Really liked the horror treatment; much better than Prometheus. Almost all the Alien tropes are there, which I enjoyed. (some will say overused)
Cons: I wish the story stayed with the engineers' background more. You can tell the reaction to Prometheus really pushed this story into what it is. Still contains some stupid decisions by some characters (Prometheus stupid). Exposition is a huge crutch.
It kind of answers some questions but also raises even more questions, which I feel is true to the franchise. Enjoyed it for sure. Could have been so much better though.

Jeeesh, this all sounds like a fucking mess (reading about the new movie, I mean). Prometheus was bad. They should just kill it completely and think about making more Alien movies that dont try and rescue any of the crap they introduced in Prometheus... or better still accept that as a franchise Alien has delivered all it can and it's come up with some new ideas to explore in film format.
I don't see the point in trying to rescue Prometheus by moving away from it and pretending stuff didn't happen, but carrying on with some of it to try and forge a link. Just accept it was a turkey and stop trying to pull giblets from its carcass.
