Who else has seen the movie? What did you think? I saw it once in the theater and look forward to seeing it again on streaming. I would say it was the best movie since Alien 3 for me. I enjoyed the android character immensely and thought that actor had a great performance. Overall, I thought it was very good, probably a B or B+ from me.

The aesthetics of the film were perfect and the first face hugger action sequence was fantastic.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Prometheus or Covenant, so I didn't like the connections to those films. This in turn means I didn't like the ending with the final monster at all.

What really topped it all off though we're the constant throw backs to previous films. Really unnecessary and the "bitch" line was just too much.

I get where you are coming from and mostly agree the bitch comment initially threw me but bugged me much less on repeated viewings. I’m optimistic the next movie can be even better. Like you I hope it can distance itself a bit from Prometheus/Covenant, but that will be hard of Scott remains a producer.
