Likewise, Alien is one of my top 5 fav films of all time. The original trilogy (Including Alien 3) are all way up there.
The intro started promising, the look was good and everything right up to the crash was great. I also liked how they show...
Alien EP 1. That was 'kin great, early days but really promising start, and its had me and the missus chatting and theorising for the last half hour which is a very promising sign.
From what I read, the director wanted to go his own way, and doesn't really like the prequel Alien movies, so no tie-in to the films (but haven't seen to confirm).
