Short review: fedikofaredjjgvfsjrjfnhreoigvfjmrnioghjrlkgsmjflgdjg so fucking good.

Long review: John Goodman's performance alone sells this movie. Not to say it doesn't have other redeeming qualities. It's well-written, intense, keeps up the pace from beginning to end, the cinematography was fucking perfect, I have only a few issues with the movie, but more on that in a bit. Seriously, no wonder Star Wars 7 was so sub-par! This is his real contribution to the world for this generation of film-making! Okay, spoiler stuff below;

I'm sure a lot of people are wondering if it actually relates to the 2008 film in any way. Uhh, not really. The only legitimate connection is you see a Slusho logo in a store at the beginning of the movie. Slusho was never mentioned in the 2008 film, just in all of the viral marketing. It's the fictional Japanese company Rob was going to work for in the first film. The rest is all completely speculative, considering the ending. Like, who knows? Maybe the monster from the 2008 film is of the same planet as the aliens? Who really knows? Also, my only gripes are with the ending. It's a bit too corny. While I'm happy to see Hollywood get a third Ellen Ripley, it's kind of out of nowhere. She suddenly becomes this badass determined to stop this alien menace, because she was able to throw a molotov. Idunno, it was cool for that moment, but having it settle in is when I realized that's a bit too corny. Still, it didn't hinder my experience. Everything before that was fucking brilliant, and I definitely recommend it still.
