As a huge fan of all the other alien movies I was very excited to watch this!
However the first half of the movie bored me, I was almost going to switch it off. Maybe it was catered more towards the newer generation who hasn't grown up with the franchise. I was thinking ughhh I've seen this all before.
Then things got interesting closer to the end/second half. They did a great job with the new human/alien creature 'the offspring', I was scared enough! And the ending left it wide open for another movie.
But definately think they could have done better in capturing my attention in the first half of the movie. I think it would have been better if they cut out alot of the first half and introduced the 'offspring' earlier- then the rest of the movie could have been about this new horrific character! Instead they left it a little too late!
