Instant Favorite.
Fresh and Exciting
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Seriously this was a horrible movie, although beautifully shot and visually impressive. To be fair, I've hated every Alien movie since Aliens. This was no exception. They've gone too far, too dark, too bleak. These movies are no longer a good thriller/action movie. Trying to be more than the originals, they've destroyed the appeal entirely.
This movie is so stupid, and such a waste of my time.
I didn't read the reviews before watching the movie but I did not have high expectation. Still, I was disappointed. Scott said he wants to turn this into a franchise and leave the story open, which means it's possible they will not close down the story and end up to where Alien started. And what that means is that they just want to take people to the cinema to make money and deliver mediocre films.Back to this film, where should I start? It has nothing original, nothing thrilling, nothing spectacular to remember. Instead, it reiterates all the SF cliches (the following is a SPOILER list): big colony ship heading to a distant planetthe crew and other colonists are in a cryogenic sleepan unexpected event wakes them upsome of them die in the eventthey find a planet that looks good and everybody is confidentthey get killed because they are recklesscommunication between teams is brokenpeople are forcibly quarantine along with infested colleagues and diehumans cannot kill the parasite; only the parasite can kill peoplethe bad guy outsmarts everybodyeverybody dies except or a handful that are saved the last momentand so on and so forthThis movie did not answer any questions (how could it be since Scott wants to make at least two more movies) but instead only raised more. It looked like it had almost nothing to do with Prometheus, except for David. It's just a side story in the big picture. We're gonna have more Davids/Walters and more ships in the future. For as long as it still makes some money. For God's sake, HTF did David breed the aliens? Seriously? Oh, and let me guess, there will be some engineers that escaped because they were away (of course, on their planet everybody lives in a single small place, not spread across the entire planet surface). And they will show up in the next film to take some revenge.
This is like watching Sharknado or other similar "movies" but unfortunately worst because it is not made as a parody but it actually is. A group of 10 year old minded children who just make you laugh by their moves and unfortunate acts like watching a cartoon. Don't waste a minute for this, this is not Alien and this is far from a watchable movie.
