Hmmm... I grudgingly give this one a pass, even though it is basically a Disney mandated rehash (not just of Alien and Aliens, but also Alien Resurrection in the finale, albeit executed better). But will we love it in years to come the way we do the first two? I seriously doubt it. It's like Mary Poppins Returns. Perfectly acceptable and entertaining on its own terms, but artistically unnecessary, and not a patch on what came before.

Excellent review, by the way.
