Yeah. The story, I am told, is the company sends settlers to the planet from the last movie where the black goo is, which is STUPID. If you want whatever magic mojo is in the black goo, send another special forces unit in, not settlers. They're just trying bring back the scary vibe from the original Alien movie.

Plus this just breaks the timeline for the old original movies even more. If we've dealt with these things in the past, why didn't anyone know about it when the first Alien movie happened?

Sigh...
