I thought it was “okay”… but there were some real plot holes/questionable ideas:
- so these young adults who are seemingly poor and bound to the planet learned to fly a ship?
- also, these seemingly poor/oppressed young people have a ship that they live in which they could have flown but chose not to until now?
- no one in the “company”/military cares that a ship is randomly taking off without clearance?
- no one else company/military/thieves would have been trying to scavenge things from the wreckage?
- seemingly every panel had a gravity on/off button? Seems excessive.
- the items that had been getting picked up and dropped millions of times by the antigravity system purging itself would have been decimated by the time the young adults got on the wreckage.
- the aim assist gun was a bad idea, but no worse that giving a gun to someone who had never shot a gun and expecting them to be a sharpshooter. I hate when that happens in movies too!
- despite having an ammo meter showing the gun is essentially empty, the gun never runs out of bullets…
- you go through all of this and you still bring the vials of alien dna back??? I’m rolling down the window and chucking it out!!!
I thought it was pretty predictable and/or boring. They seemed to put too much stock in the anti- gravity gimmick. TBH I didn’t really feel connected to any of the characters. This is probably my least favorite Alien film.
