When I went to see Deadpool & Wolverine I closed my eyes and went "la la la la........................" during the trailer for this as I want to go in as blind as possible.
If it's not as good as I'm hoping then all it's cost me is one of my LLoyds Bank free cinema tickets but if it is good then I'm quids in.

The bit with the alien is great.
interesting interview with director yesterday https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021xq4
original not scary by todays standards, and youngsters aren't familiar with originals, needed a reboot with young blood(like starship troopers ?),
only good thing he suggested was minimal use of vfx, like the original, in the gendre of blade runner

Seeing it tomorrow evening, got my cinema society codes ready but can't book seats online due to an issue and have to book it in person apparently so hopefully I can phone up and use the codes so the good seats are still available

Just watched it pretty good i thought, woulda preferred a older cast tho. Had some great ref to the first 2 films in tho which if you listen carefully to some of the lines you might recognise.

Just finished watching it, I enjoyed it solid 7/10, very tense, nice little nods, nailed the atmosphere etc would have been an 8 but didn’t like aspects of the end too much.

I wish they had spent 10 minutes more at the start giving us More Corp planet
I just got back from watching this.
It's a bit of a slow burn, but I liked getting to see the mining/corp planet and world building. The trailer really didn't give away as much as people seem to think, overall it's by far the best movie since Aliens in my opinion. I really enjoyed it, it leaned more toward the horror side of things but handled the material well while offering a few nods toward the other movies. Atmosphere was fantastic, as was the music, I'd absolutely recommend it.

I think i read that they got the vfx crew that did aliens to do this film. I think im glad they did as it did feel like alien 1 and 2 thanks to them.
There's a lot of well done practical sets/effects which really help to set the tone.
Just back and overall thoroughly enjoyed . As Angryjoe said the best Alien movie since Aliens. Loved it. There was some parts
. Solid 8/10 for me. Fede did a great job and Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson were surprisingly superb.
near the end which didn't quite work. Xenos way more menacing than what appeared in the end.
