My rating: 5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
I played a little bit of the first person shooter (FPS) game not long ago and liked it, which sums up my limited knowledge of anything in this franchise that now spans at least 3 video games and a couple of animated films. It's OK. I was hoping for more but it plays out much like a video game. Hell, the second half of the picture is mostly a team of space marines (or something similar) killing waves of aliens. It got so repetitive that I felt like I should have popped in the game and killed some myself just to speed things up a bit. The animation was good as well as the voice work but they took a 40 minute story and added another half hour of action that wasn't all that necessary.
