There was definitely tinkering when they got the elevator down I call reshoot scene there, which seems to say something was changed there,

The whole Engineer hybrid ending was clearly tacked on, It could have easily ended without that and would have been far better to leave that to the imagination for the impregnated girl.

I just got a DVD of Don’t Breathe by fede Alverez so I will be watching that soon. I think he is quite a talented director but you know what these big budget tentpoles are like these days. I can imagine the once great Ridley Scott who is on a bad run currently interfering and is as much so confirmed. Not saying Scott ruined it but he no doubt steered the outcome in his diminished eptitude.

It started out well and I have to say I don’t mind the idea of Rooke but it should have been a puppet or animatronic they obviously must have scanned Ian holm at some point probably LOTR for CGI character stunts and effects like when he became a bit gollum lunging for the ring. A puppet would have been much beter in keeping with previous iterations.

I wonder if there is an alternate ending… Imagine they were all just on the escape craft and they scanned the pregnant girl and the image of the scan was the last shot with tense build up music and everyone looking scared film ends cut to black. that is how it should have ended.

Ah yes that line Andy says oh dear oh dear cringefest I groaned fairly hard on that. Needs to go.

“These are my first thoughts. It’s such a shame they didn’t film the back story instead. The research team finding the original Alien had so much potential.” Prequeal for the prequeal lol. A mix of the 2 would have perhaps advantaged the film.
