Nope, in fact I'm glad I didn't see it in IMAX. To me, IMAX is only for larger than life movies. Nothing in Alien would really benefit from it.

I saw it today. It's good, but not great. But to be fair, I don't expect an alien movie to ever be great again. It's very well made. Pays homage to the history and fits perfectly within the first 2 movies. The mood is good, the flow is good, its a solid sequel. As an avid fan, I am very happy with it.

Nit picking stuff, overall I wasn't happy with the climax of the movie. Nothing wrong, but personal preferences make me not like the third act so to speak.

I also didn't like the cast all being "teenagers". I mean, they're in their 20s but they look ultra young and definitely don't look like working stiffs from the mines. The opposite vibe of the nostromo crew.

Would any of that stop me from recommending it? Nope.

That sounds like me and my wife. She's not going to give up her calendar, photos, etc. She's always asking me, so what keyboard do you use? What calendar do you use? What xyz do you use? And I'm always saying... yeah, you don't want to go there. Just use what you want.

It's good enough that I recognized the reference before clicking into the post.

I agree that going fedi doesn't automatically solve the issues. However, moving it away from a multi tiered paid platform (they really tailored it so they could do this) and controlling the bots/scam accounts would be a completely different experience. I think fedi would at least solve the first one, and I'd expect would help controlling the second.
