Ok. These will be as good as if not better than the first two cult classic films. |

Probably a few more.... but yes it can seem a bit formulaic when repeated too often. I'm not fully up to speed with all the Alien 'Universe' films, I've seen many of them but not all. At risk of sounding like I'm trying to defend something.... Wasn't there a bit about sinister companies / governments wanting to use the xenos as weapons or for their own benefit (in Aliens, and Prometheus, and possibly some others), so they'd be actively controlling and severely limiting the information spread so they could carry on sending out poor saps to get themselves all in a pickle. Also, just like in real life, a lot of warnings go unheeded I guess. After all "It'll never happen to me" |

Another one: Containment Sat’s verdict: Worse. Also, pointless. Also “actors”. Also, it ends with “Written by...” written what? There’s fuck all here. |

Quote: Alien: Containment – Four survivors find themselves stranded aboard a small escape pod in deep space. Trying to piece together the details around the outbreak that led to their ship's destruction, they find themselves unsure to trust whether or not one of them might be infected. Written and directed by Chris Reading. If this was the aim of the short, it failed entirely. |

If you haven't listened to them, the existing Alien audio plays on Audible are very good. The lady that does Ripley's voice is uncanny. |

That sounds spot on. I'll always watch the theatrical version as there's too much padding in the extended version, but I like the scenes they've picked to retain. |
