Starring: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, & Billy Crudup
In order to create a new civilization, a large group of colonists, embryos, and a crew voyage to a new planet. On their way, their ship becomes damaged and the crew must awake to fix it. While doing so, they receive an interesting transmission that peaks their curiosity of a new planet that they never discovered before and is closer. The captain, Oram (Crudup) decides it is best to travel to this planet despite Daniels' (Waterston), his second in command, protests. On this new planet, they discover that they are not alone.
I had not watched the previous Alien movies, but this film provided enough information for me to catch up. But, for those that did watch the previous movies, the beginning dragged from what I heard. It took too long for the crew to discover the aliens, but to me, it provided essential backstory, especially since I hadn't seen an Alien film before.
On another note, Michael Fassbender. When he first appeared, I was very apprehensive about his character since he plays a robot. It was difficult to imagine him as a robot, but he grew on me.
Overall, not too bad, but just be aware of the two notes above. 4 popcorns.
