I went in with really low hopes, but ended up liking the new Alien Romulus movie, due to some of the reasons you outlined.
It's not perfect and has its dumb choices (uncanny valley de-aged android from Alien, stupid callback lines). But the characters are generally all solid, and there's just enough world building without getting too expository. And there's a new twist on alien morphology that was interesting and straight up good horror.
