Review of Alien: Containment

Containment really manages to settle itself into the Alien universe perfectly. In fact, the best part of the short is the story it didn't tell, as the plot itself is actually an aftermath of a prior Xeno infestation on a now destroyed vessel. Though Gaia Wess' character is kind of a 'non-character', Theo Biggs manages to set the tone with his frantic, if not slightly hammy performance as a terrified and paranoid crewmember. Unfortunately, the Wey-Yu doctors' performance was probably the weakest of three, but she still gets the job relatively well done.

I also appreciate the risk of adding a bit of dark humour to the short in the post-credit scene, something that could have totally ruined the entire short if botched. Overall, a pretty damn good short that captures the aesthetics and tone of Alien very well.
