    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.
