What don’t you like about it?
The focus is on action over story. And we've seen this action before. Doesn't intrigue me. It's as if the trailer for Jurassic Park was just a snippet of the T-Rex trying to get to the kids in the car. That would be dumb because there's actually good story. This must not have much story to it. But it is just a teaser so who knows

Moved from the general motion picture news thread:
I think Aliens movies really live or die by the quality of the human characters. You’ve either got a memorable group, portrayed by memorable people…or you’ve got nothing to offer.
And this might also be the franchise I think CGI is most ruinous to. Xenomorphs have to look disgusting and wet and really, really, really there. They also need to maintain a certain amount of physical mystery…which happens to pair well with the production-side need to hide the fact that you’re working with a puppet or costume, but not at all well with the “every shot looks so cool” mentality of cgi.

Isn’t the story the same in all the Alien movies? Except maybe AvP.

I'd prefer something like Prometheus but better. I just generally don't like Ridley Scott or his aesthetics. I just want something new.

"I just generally don't like Ridley Scott or his aesthetics" might be one of the worst things anyone has ever said. A true heir to LV's idiotic hot take throne has been found.
And slowly, inexorably, terrifyingly… tree has become the loathed vermin of our time. No cow too sacred nor no brow so low as not to be drawn and quartered by the rapier blade. All hail the ersatz haderach.

I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.
