Bad at best, unwatchable at worst!

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2017)

The movie starts with nearly an hour of build up, yes you read correctly nearly a whole hour! Characters are sort of introduced and they are not likable or original. I really wanted to like this, maybe some small part of me thought that the series could somehow redeem itself after the last terrible entry in the series 'Prometheus' but again this does the usual 'serious to the point of being ridiculous, mixed in with locker room humor' thing, that unfortunately seems to be a trend across the board. This also paves the way for yet another unfortunate movie trend of CG without story or character development. The characters in question are stupid and the script is appalling. However when the movie gets going you'll realize it is a total mess of bad CG and ridiculously stupid people I mean seriously one person slipping in a huge pool of blood is stupid enough but when a second person does the same its comical, which ruins any immersion but like i said earlier the characters are not interesting or unique so probably not much immersion there in the first place. The alien thing is entirely cg and actually looks bad compared to previous movies in the series, seriously aliens looks tonnes better and it is over 30 years old now, proof that there is no substitute for good physical effects and costume design. Another annoying that this movie does is show you nearly everything in the middle, then it goes back to the same drudgery at the beginning of the movie so it takes away any sense of mystery, wonder or interest. Why would 2 androids have a long meaningless philosophical conversation? Im still racking my brains to try and understand that. This movie can be summed up in one word and that is 'pointless' don't waste your time!
