I wouldn't recommend this movie to those who are sensitive to horror and gore, I recommend it to those who love horror like me.
This movie was incredibly good! While it has minimal gore and less than average jump scares, the concept was enough to disturb me. When the xenomorph (alien) got on the ship, I was on the edge of my couch, just waiting for the creature to jump out and devour the victims.
I would also say that the characters were somewhat likeable, especially Ellen Ripely. I kind appreciate them having a strong female character without being overly "DivErSIty isOuR PowEr" if you know what I mean.
I will say, if you are impatient, this may not be your movie, but it didnt bother me. Highly recommend!
