Review
Yeah, I don’t even know. It took me 3 days to watch this, which is crazy, since I can actually watch 3 movies a day. But yeah, it’s got suspense. And aliens. And blood. The pacing is weird, the characters (with the exception of Ripley) are forgettable, the lighting is awful (like really dark, I swear I couldn’t see anything), and the plot is really slow. Sure, there was a lot of set detail for 1979, but the story wasn’t much more than “there are aliens”. Still, the end scene got a reference in Avengers Infinity War, and there were a few dramatic scenes here and there, so I’ll give it a pass.
Spoiler Territory
Not really spoiler-sensitive.
