A prequel that couldn't be avoided. There's a different crew, a different cast, and a film that reminded me quite a bit of Cloverfield, only less intense. That's because there's a bit more time spent on the characters and their background. It's not the smartest choice if you ask me, but for a traditional blockbuster, it's pretty common.
The aliens aren't quite as scary as they used to be and the characters aren't that interesting, even so, there are some pretty tense and fun scenes scattered throughout. The pacing could've been slicker and the horror is a little tame, but there's enough to enjoy here for genre fans. Not as good as the earlier films though.
