*spoiler free* First off I have to say, if you have never watched an Alien movie most of this movie will be great for a sci-fi horror movie. Now as a fan boy of the series since I watched my first Alien movie in 1987 and I have to say it was a joy to watch. Does it destroy or walk over the other movies in the series? No, but there was one line that wasn't needed in the movie. Visuals were like a flash from the past and done brilliantly. Story was a solid 8/10 with a few small gaps that I didn't like or could have been explained better but I assume that when and if they make a special edition like they have with almost every other Alien movie they will fill in those gaps.

I truly think that this was a great movie in the series, it hit on almost every front. I wish that they had stolen or copied the video game Alien isolation's story vs this one but.... I enjoyed the movie, they only dropped the ball in the last 5min of the movie. The rest of it was worth the wait and look forward to the future of the series.

People a bashing this, I have to say the show is more of a family story and less of the project steps. They are converting an old school house into a home. The style isn't to my liking but it's not my home, it's theirs. I love the ways they are involving everyone and everything and making it old but new. They are not Chip and Joanna and I'm glad, I don't want cookie cutter shows like Foxer upper, I like the new spin on renovation they do.

Compared to the two jokes of movies, this has the feel and speed of the book. I have read them all and appreciate what they are doing and to those who don't you need to read the books. I won't spoil anything, but I will say I smiled like a kid while watching these episodes...

Please make more, there are better stories. I can hope and wish for more!
