Slick, interesting and well done this film is too manicured and perfect to be the best film ever and also difficult to fault. The actors are good, realistic enough and the life form throughout its many changes is compelling and beautifully created but it's a little too on the nose. The ship is very sparse and clean, too clean it makes you long to be on the Nostromo, where the real monsters are. The life form is definitely threatening it's just not scary. But it is very enjoyable in all ways i just felt there was something missing, maybe we have come to the point where there is nothing left to discover so we try to improve on what came before, and that leaves me a little empty.
Like This Watch These: Alien (1979) Never to be outdone, still great, still terrifying even though the prequels ain't great, Pitch Black (2000) I thought this was a nice freash idea about space monsters in the dark, Aliens (1986) The best sequel ever.
