Pros: engaging storyline and well acted. Many surprising and thrilling plot turns. Visually stunning as all alien movies (i saw it in IMAX) and tension builds till the climax. Lovable leading young woman who carries the emotional weight of the human interest aspect of the story. Cons: some confusion as to timelines and the year unless i totally missed it, I didn’t understand why there were two smoking scenes (throwback to origin story?) and 20th century clothing for the main characters, which felt like 1980s, yet technology was simultaneously retro and futuristic. Not totally off putting, but it took me out of the movie and into my analytical head. Some obvious predictability, chase scenes and alien monsters (felt slightly stale) along with some laughable dialogue (Remember they have acid for blood!) Otherwise thrilling and entertaining as well as a stellar addition to the Alien franchise.
