I liked the first half. Especially the idea of a quarantined lab in space divided in half. It wasn’t until the reintroduction of the android that it went off a cliff.

I think people got a little too hung up on the references. I mean, I get it, it breaks the immersion of it's constantly referencing other movies you know.

But if you look at the movie on its own terms, it's a really nice Alien movie.
