Given everything that had been set up in the previous movies, it did a really good job of rejiggering the concept while still staying true to what came before it. To me the ALIEN movies are about a bunch of people in a confined space trying to stay alive -- <I>that's</I> the formula.

Perhaps its that the movie was really made for the devoted fans of the franchise that it falls a little flat for the average viewer.
