    I thought it was a very good movie, sure it doesn’t match the original one, but only a very few do.

    This felt like an homage to the first one in many ways. There were some questionable decisions from the characters sure. But I felt, the movie was saved by the main character and her helplessness. Ripley was a badass for sure. She is still IMO the best female character in a SciFi movie, but seeing a normal person attempting to survive when all her friends was getting killed left right and centre was good (had a Predator vibe to it).

    Also this movie added a ton of lore. The mutating power of Prometheus Fire, Alien-Human Hybrid and speaking of that scene, it was really well executed, just when I thought the movie was going to end, nope. Like when the Alien-Ripley fight in the Pod.

    Overall I felt really satisfied with the film and its better than most of the sequels getting released these days. Also two good films in the Alien-Predator franchise back to back [Prey (2022)]?
