Trivia
Director Fede Alvarez sought out the special effects crew from Aliens (1986) to work on the creatures. Physical sets, practical creatures, and miniatures were used wherever possible to help ground later VFX work.

Goofs
(at around 2 mins) At the start of the film, a probe finds parts of the wreckage of the Nostromo floating in space near Zeta² Reticuli following its destruction a couple of decades earlier at the end of Alien (1979). Despite it being dubious there would be any wreckage left after what was such a monumental explosion, any parts of the ship that were not vaporised would not be simply floating in space around the area the explosion happened decades later. The force of the Nostromo's self destruct would have projected remnants of it in all directions at considerable speed, and since this is the vacuum of space, the remnants wouldn't slow down, they would simply keep flying through space at speed.

Quotes
Andy: The solution for a claustrophobic astronaut is to give him more space.

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Studios fanfare freezes and turns ominous, as in Alien³ (1992), leading into the film's opening scene.

The logo itself suffers a burst of static and turns green.

No Depth, No Soul

Was truly hoping for something better given the decent number of positive reviews. But this was one-note through and through. No real tension, once you realize the generic script was going to stay that way. The 'twist' was as predictable as they come. Acting generic. Though Andy had his moments. The throwbacks to previous films were eye rolling and the rehash of the famous Aliens line was the most cringe of all. Even some of the sets looked cheap. I particularly remember a couple scenes that looked like they were hanging up those circular metallic bendable dryer vents. Everything was super dark, probably to hide what was probably terrible quality alien slime/hard mucus lining the walls. The face huggers particularly at the beginning looked very cheaply done. Stiff and jittery.

Big letdown.
