This was a much better story than the Alien 3 film, which is pretty much all that need to be said.
The opening is a recap of Aliens and where it left off. It then picks up the characters while they're in stasis on the sulako. From there we get a thrilling tale of the xenomorph and their remarkable

developments in works building: the contagion aspect of alien procreation (which Cameron resurrected in his prequels) and a synthetic hybrid. All together it feels like had this been adapted to the screen it would have made for a fun third film but not a stand out favorite. Show Less
