About
You may like this if you want a fast, bloody sci-fi horror ride with a strong lead and a rough crew dynamic; Not for you if you prefer the tighter suspense of Alien or Aliens, or want a more serious tone.
Pros: strong lead performance; memorable creature ideas; energetic pace | Cons: weak story; over-the-top tone; flat humor
