    I mean, I didn’t hate it. There is a lot of gross use of Ian Holm’s face for Ash that made me roll my eyes every time he popped up. The story itself was pretty meh - but if you watched Prometheus and Covenant (or Resurrection) and went “mario-thumbs-up” it’s a solid film.

    I will say the standout actor is David Jonsson for his role as Andy. Probably really the only thing that kept me in my seat besides the fact that I like movies set in space & like watching slop in the theaters. Should I have seen Trap instead though? Probably.

    My consensus? Unless you’re an Aliens fan, catch it on a matinee or when it hits streaming.
