Alien: Isolation (film)

Alien: Isolation is a 2018 3D computer-animated science fiction horror film and a direct sequel to the 1979 film Alien, ignoring the events of the other film sequels. The film is also based off of the 2014 survival horror video game of the same name, and follows Amanda Ripley (Keira Knightley), daughter of Ellen Ripley, who investigates the disappearance of her mother. The film serves as a pilot to the computer-animated television series Alien: Isolation – The Digital Series.

Released theatrically on November 16, 2018, the film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation and plot, but was a box office bomb, only grossing $146 million against a budget of $80 million and effectively cancelling plans for more Alien animated films.
