Quite a weak film from Ridley Scott

Rating: 3/10 (27 August 2017)

The AI has more character than all the characters in this movie
There is no character development, little things from the old movies that they didn't even try to put into this, for example.
The cigar smoking military guy from the first one, he had many great lines, Vasquez, with her tom girl attitude and bandanna, Hudson, with his kick-ass gun ho quotables. There was even a scene in the old movie that had the Android do a cool knife trick on the table and scare Hudson. But there was none of that, so empty and inhuman.
This movie had ZERO of that, all the characters were meant to be hated, James Franco and his pal cant act for $h#t. This was horribly produced because they were in it.
none of the characters use any common sense.
many of the scenes were horror film clichés from yesteryear and the set design looked mostly like CGI instead of practical FX and real sets like the old ones. They did more with less back then, and now they do less with more these days.
All in all it was quite a shameful and disappointing experience to watch this movie. I expected a lot more from Ridley Scott.
Some of the Scifi nature shots were cool but they really didn't try hard enough to make it look like a truly alien planet.
Oh, and it was basically a slaughter of all the human characters, there is no sense of suspense and tension building, just hopeless slaughter of characters that nobody cares about because they have no memorable lines or lovable features. I mean Starship troopers had better characters than this movie.
