Standard recipe, good effects, reasonably written story that stayed on track but at the same time didn't really go anywhere, a little in keeping with the franchise also a few nods to the classics but not the best.
Just felt like it could have been so much better, less predictable and the fear turned up to 11.
Nothing worse than a claustrophobic unlit belly crawl with an angry Xeno hot on your heels, more over the shoulder camera shots with intense jumpscare, tension build up, horrific unique deaths and futuristic world imagination for gadgets etc.
Like c'mon you have the tech the budget the and experience the bar was set you should be trying to up the ante by this point.
Had high hopes given the wait and hype, wanted to love this but left unsatisfied, disappointed and seen as yet another weak attempt to piggy back off the earlier movies success.
Do better or let me write it and I'll have the whole cinema begging to turn the lights back on.
