I should mention, while Alien is my favorite movie franchise of all time-I'm much more of a fan of the original 1979 movie than Cameron's sequel. Don't get me wrong, Aliens is a great action film. One of the best. I re-watch it and I always enjoy it. But to me, there's magic in that first movie. The suspense works better, the set design and music is beautiful. I'll say this-Alien is a perfect movie, Aliens is a great movie.
Anyway-don't go in expecting explosions and gore-it's a quiet, suspenseful film full of dark corridors and a bleak vibe. It honors the original while doing something extremely disturbing, disgusting and original in its final act-this movie goes to a VERY dark place that will prove to be too much for some. Honestly, it's truly what I've wanted out of Alien movie for a while. I am rating this as an Alien fan, this isn't an Oscar winning movie. It doesn't transcend the genre. This is a movie made by an Alien fan, for Alien fans.
