Just got back from this, and to me it leaned so heavily on referencing Alien, it never found its own feet.

For instance:

The opening shots of empty industrial sci-fi corridors are very familiar.

You literally hear MU/TH/ER�s computer chatter in the scene set on the very Nostromo-esque bridge.

The diving suits look just like the Nostromo space suits.

TJ Miller gets to do the Kane thing as he peers into something he probably shouldn�t...

Later on, he�s Newt in the sewer in an almost perfect shot recreation.

There�s a bunch more besides those.

Thinking about seeing the movie. Is it too much to hope that the monsters are lovecraftian in shape/scope or are we talking like guys in rubber suits level of creature?

I remember there was some old sci fi deep water film (I think) that had the monster costume reused in Suburban Commando. That was a bit of a shocker to see.

Very much the former.
