Visually yes..
Cinematography in some parts...yes.
CG so far on the Aliens = A+
Story so far = C- at best.
And some of the acting has been really bad.
But since the actual Alien looks amazing i'll for sure watch the rest.
have to disagree with this one, as someone who has watched every alien IP and learned a lot of the lore thru the comics and books
the good: Ideas that seem like they would play well with the franchise
The bad: everything else. They are going against their own established lore to make a visually appealing TV show that feels ultimately hollow.
For example, they are looking to capture the alien for the key to immortal life and weapons research.
When they already have both with the synths they introduce into the show. Since we know in 2 years the movie Alien will come along, the technology will be destroyed or "lost" by the end of this show. Even though they have cyborgs (Weyland tech) who never make an appearance in any Alien IP after this show. Including the colonial marines sent to LV-246 in James Cameron's "Aliens," which is like almost 100 years after this show.
a lot more scratch-your-head moments vs being a smart show; it's just going for horror elements and nostalgia.
If you like gore and futuristic sci-fi CGI, you will like this.
in reality, this is just a re-hash of too many "peter pan" elements.
this guy points out a lot of the same points I made
Story is a B, you tripping
The world building alone is B+
We got so much going on in only 2 episodes
