And they’re back! It’s time for another “Alien” movie. And while Sigourney Weaver’s famous Ripley from the 1979 original is not back, now we have Rain Carradine, aka rising star Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), a next-generation Ripley in all but name.

Just kidding! It’s not in the dictionary. But it’s worth noting that Álvarez, in placing his movie between existing versions to form a new trilogy, yet aiming also for standalone entertainment, risks some tonal confusion.

There’s an decommissioned space station hovering above, and if they can raid it of hardware and other loot, they can bypass the brutal wait for permits and finally make it to a new home. And so, reluctantly, the two agree to join the others — Rain’s ex-boyfriend Tyler , his sister Kay , Bjorn and Navarro — on a bumpy flight to the Renaissance station.
