★★★½ Watched

Feels like an Alien fan film, in both the best and worst ways. Visuals and world building are top notch, the Aliens look better than ever, there's some creative action sequences, and the two main characters are pretty compelling.

But it gets dragged down with unnecessary callbacks and connections to the original film, with one in particular that's so distasteful and unconvincing it severely damages what's otherwise a solid film that brings the franchise back to its horror roots.

Definition of a perfect movie. As close to flawless as possible. Impeccable production design. Razor sharp direction. And the greatest movie monster of all time.
