Just got home from watching this! I had a great time tbh, not the greatest movie ever but leagues better than Prometheus imo

Saw it tonight!
Random thoughts:

It’s the best alien film since Alien 3 (yes, alien 3. The cool kids grew to appreciate the mess it was as time has gone on).

But leaps and bounds better than Ridley’s awful prequels.

********!!!! Mild spoilers!!! ****

[Spoiler (click to open)]-It’s also as close as we’re going to get to an Alien Isolation film (though, given when this film takes place, I suppose it’s not out of the question if they wanted to do another film

[Spoiler (click to open)]It pissed me off, though, that the alien was found with recognizable pieces of the wreckage given 1.) the MULTIPLE blasts looked like it would have left irradiated dust, not recgonizable chunks and 2.) she blew the alien out of the airlock far from the wreck after the ship exploded.

Yea. It’s a bit of a stretch to assume it was still intact…but is settle for that retcon than the alien 3 plot point of the egg magically ending up on the sulaco. They really put no thought into that.

If we’re to believe this alien she blew out the airlock was fine, then the queen from aliens is prolly still out there 😭

I wonder if Neil Blomkamp's idea to retcon Cubed and Resurrection out of existence and instead have Ripley and Hicks back on Earth having a normal life yeeeeears later (with adult Newt maybe who knows) when the company fucks up with xenomorphs on earth again is still on the table LMAO. I mean, it would probably be terrible, but that's an improvement over um... space sex offenders turned cultists I guess?

Skipping the spoilers because I have tickets booked in 4DX for this evening.
