Yes, we did come out of this movie and spend a good 45 minutes discussing all the huge, gaping, ridiculous holes in the plot.

I enjoyed the watching of it DESPITE ALL THAT. So. Award-winning? No. Logical and well-done? No. Enjoyable anyway? Why, yes.

Also there are lots of visual (and otherwise) ties to previous movies in the franchise, especially noticeable since V. and I had just (re)watched Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection over the previous week in preparation.
