Road MasterI just finished this. From the very beginning, I was impressed with how they made this look like it was straight from the Alien universe. The ship designs, computers, textures, etc... were all clearly built with extreme care. It's obviously not from Ridley Scott this time around. But Alvarez clearly took care to honor the universe that Scott and Giger built. The cast/characters were a mixed bag. Cailee Spaeny did a phenomenal job as Rain Carradine. Very much a spiritual successor to Sigourney Weaver's Ridley while at the same time making the role her own and not just copying what Weaver created. I will be keeping an eye out for anything she does in the future. David Jonsson portrayed Andy to perfection. He was a little odd, a little broken, but hit the subtle notes just right. As for everybody else... I don't even remember their names. The guy who hated Andy was mostly just annoying. There were some choices made by characters that were definitely questionable. But I suppose that's to be expected. Altogether, I give this 4.5 stars out of 5.
