**Maybe the best "Alien" movie after "Aliens", but at least as good as Prometheus (but in a different way)** I enjoyed this movie a lot. It didn't try to be edgy or special - it seems to be directed by a guy who loved the first 2 Alien m...
This is a great B-movie for people looking for a bit of a thrill.
