Saw it tonight...
Started out very well and interesting. By the end I felt disappointed. It did do a better job of explaining a few things than Prometheus did, which I think gets a little too much undeserved hate (mostly due to being marketed as a direct Alien prequel). The saddest part was that the xenomorph in the 3rd act almost felt tacked on. Acting was good, cinematography was amazing, action/suspense was well done, plot was weak, and xeno felt forced. 7.5/10
Edit: After sleeping on it and reflecting on how this story fits into the universe as a whole, I change my grade. 5/10. This movie took a steaming dump on the Alien universe.
