SPOILER ALERT!
I paid my money today and saw the original sound version in Dolby Atmos. As a big Alien fan I really enjoyed it and it took someone like Fede Alvarez to make an extremely exciting 'new' movie. The film is loaded with info from Alien and the prequels, many repeated lines from the previous films and stolen from later ones too. A good young cast, half with english accents like Rey in Star Wars. I thought the opening scene was brilliant, with the company so aware of the 'Big Chap' in Alien so why wouldn't they go looking for him? The biggest surprise was the android Rook, I didn't see that coming. Flying facehuggers and brilliant Xenomorphs in their best graphic violence. It reminded me of Alien Isolation and the old 'shoot 'em up' DOS games of 2000ish.
It has probably been done to death now as there's only so many ways you can fight, shoot, and eventually kill those critters and Alvarez threw just about everything at this except eggs and a queen. (I did expect a 'king' for some reason.....why not?). I have only one criticism, that ending. Did they really have to do an Alien Ressurection repeat?
Well worth 8€30 for a fist watch "very atmospheric and claustrophobic" as 2112 said in the OP and only really available at a cinema near you..........
