To encapsulate the essence of the original, in such a short space of time and make it interesting and exciting without being a direct copy, is a pretty great achievement.
There's a decent scare, decent characterization and plenty of homage to the first ALIEN film, including the technology. It doesn't feel rushed, yet you would like to see it extended out. Having said that, I enjoyed the way it ended.
Congrats to the team involved. A worthy tribute and an excellent idea. I hope more studios do this sort of thing. In this day of endless remakes and sequels, we do owe so much to those first original films.
