Review:

Alien: Reign of Man really makes no sense. The director was obviously in love with his “vision”, as he called it, at the expense of telling an interesting story; he allowed cheap cosplay costumes, frequently mediocre CGI, interminable wanderings through a barren landscape, and long scenes of smouldering stares to get in the way of something to say. Along with horror comedy, this is another casualty of overreaching low-budget filmmakers: transcendental storytelling.
