Apart from young adults on a spaceship/station and a laboratory named Romulus, nothing else has been revealed plot wise.

Looks derivative. Is there more to the story this time other than “stumble upon Alien, get hunted”?

I’m a fan of the franchise, so I’ll almost certainly see this. But I’m not expecting any real originality … I’m seeing it more like a cover of a classic (which, despite disliking reboots etc, I’m kinda ok with when it comes to classics with franchises … maybe it’s good just to revisit things without a full rewatch?)

Did you watch the 2013 Evil Dead reboot?
It’s about as derivative as derivative gets, and it was fucking amazing.
The director also worked on this one, so I’m hyped.
Sometimes remaking the wheel (Prometheus) doesn’t suit the franchise. Give me some “stumble upon Alien, get face raped” please, with extra thrust.
