I thought it kind of sucked, and I am a major Aliens buff. I mean, did R. Scott even watch alien before he made this movie. A FEW things I noticed:
-The engineer had to die in the pilots chair and didn’t.
-Crew of the Nestromo would not have noticed all this human spacecraft wreckage all over the alien ship
-Same crew would not have noticed all the bodies that the Engineer killed around the bridge?
-Ship full of Eggs, not Bio Containers
-Shitty acting (Except David)
-Tat guy is scared to death of a 2000 year old corpse, but finds a snake like thing to be cute a cuddly
-Same Tat guy gets lost and he invented those red probes?
-My Fav part. Captain tells them sensors finds life. I mean, this would be the first signs of live life in human existence, but instead, he tells them later and off he goes to get laid (Honestly, Id do the same thing )
It would have made more sense to say they engineered our species to be host for the aliens. Nothing more, and some of them got out and killed all the engineers, so the plan never happened.
