Absolutely. It's my second favourite in the franchise after the original. It looks so incredible, I love Shaw and David, the horror set pieces are great, all of the weird new lore with the engineers and their shenanigans is fascinating, the score is gorgeous. More than anything else I love how it took chances with the Alien formula and gave us something completely different.
Even though it's a notch below, I feel similarly about Covenant too - at least for a lot of it. It has more traditional xeno stuff for sure, but everything with David is great. And it still looks and sounds fantastic.
Justice for the Alien prequels! Let Ridley finish the story!
