Reviews

[Patrick Hayes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reads more like a hard sci-fi novel than the movie. A fantastic read. A lot of the techno and medical talk is cut out, and I see that it’s for the better. I do think the script does a better job at leading up to the reveal of Ash as the Android. Highly recommended for anyone who’s seen the movie a bunch of times and wants to see the story a new way.
