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.
I think I'm in the minority that really didn't like it at all. I thought it started well, but then it hit the first wobble with the

I can see all of this. I do agree about Bilbo being crammed in and the secondary characters being just Alien fodder. And yeah, regular xenos are fine, stop fucking about with them. But all in all I still enjoyed it way morecthan the last 2. Maybe the last 3.
Especially since
