First 2 episodes; As enjoyable as Alien and Aliens were on first viewing back in 79 and 86 (or was it 87?). Outstanding! Feels and looks like the Alien universe. Great continuity with Alien in terms of visuals, direction, music, audio, characters, atmosphere and horror. Xenomorph effects and looks are outstanding. Brilliant new characters and monsters, and proper scifi ideas bring enjoyable thought provoking new elements. And Adrian Edmondson is in it! Best fresh scifi telly since Fallout.

Great for the kids. Difficult to unsee Dr Evil in the cat though.

1 was fresh and the cutting in half scene the most terrifying. 2 was less of the same. In fact I can’t recall any detail. 3 was not frightening. No suspense. Just random ott brain dead type gore set pieces but with a lack of building momentum as the film progressed. Art was too manic. And so he is now a demon and not a psycho? Psychos are more terrifying. Demons are fairytale bullshit and a take away the true horror of a mad man dressed as a clown going bonkers. Some of the effects are meh. Very 80’s nasty. Not real enough. Watch it and make your own mind up.

Great action. Brosnan is the star. Dwayne looks ridiculous floating in the air with one leg slightly raised.

View it as a comic book romp and you will enjoy it. Great direction and cgi. Appalling dialogue at times. Ludicrous plot. But it was a very enjoyable blast.
