Returning to the franchise's horror roots, with blood, gore and B movie monsters, yet it's beautifully shot and ambitious in its attempt to further expand the Alien mythos.

Still a solid film in the long-running science-fiction/horror franchise.

A very enjoyable Alien movie and they pick up from Prometheus perfectly.

Scott has assembled a top-shelf collection of artistic talent to expand upon the hellishly stunning level of designs and atmospheric creations from Prometheus. Read more

Awesome horror and gore gets lost a bit in the philosophical midst.

The few jump scares don’t make up for a general lack of suspense in the film. Read more

Satisfied my need to see extreme alien violence, while still elaborating on the most fascinating antagonist that the franchise has ever seen. Read more

A far more action-oriented film than Prometheus and has enough jump scares and gore to please most Alien fans. Read more

Playing it safe will appease fans of the franchise, but this is also the film’s biggest weakness. Read more

Plays it safe by mashing together the best elements of previous Alien films, delivering a solid sci-fi horror/thriller in the process. Read more

By developing and dissecting the overarching concepts in detail, the ‘fear of the unknown’ tension associated with the original is lost... Read more

I'm going to give this one an "Okay" because the plot line, other than the typical over used one, wasn't bad and I liked Fassbender in this.

All pretty much standard fare for this series, with long, boring sequences in between...

Ridley Scott: please, please, don’t do another Alien film. This is an improvement but it’s still a misfire.

There are also far too many protagonists, and it becomes difficult to keep track of who exactly is still alive at any given time. Read more

Finds little reason to opt for sophistication as its desire to retain the beats of a bungled B-movie suffocates the real truth behind its latest search for meaning.

Just trash. It’s technically sound but devoid of all substance. Read more

The characters are moronic monster fodder despite being established as highly trained and most of the dialogue amounts to explaining the plot. Read more

Een sterk vervolg op Prometheus. De film beantwoord enkele vragen van zijn voorganger, maar wekt ook meer vragen op. Read more

Karakteruitdieping, expliciete gore en interessante thema's zijn dan weer wel duidelijk aanwezig.

Mist simpelweg diepgang, spanning en is zeer voorspelbaar waardoor de finale geen adrenalinemomenten oplevert. Read more
