Another dumb ass bland Alien film. Give it up Ridley!

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2017)

I'm a huge fan of the first two Alien films. The previous installment, Prometheus, was a HUGE stink. This film is slightly better than Prometheus but still suffers from stupid writing... Astronauts land on unknown planet without their spacesuits on and become infected. Seriously? Who does this? Are they THE DUMBEST astronauts ever? Prometheus's astronauts did the exact same thing. Its simply not credible and the film lost me at this point. Dear writers, I am not dumb. Please don't treat me as such! The writing aside, there's nothing new to see here. I was not scared. The intended scares did not make me jump. Act 2 was a little boring and the Michael Fassbender twist I guessed early on. I feel hugely let down. Again. For the second time in 5 years! Dear Ridley, please do not make anymore. Theses films do not hold a candle to the first two. They are dumb, bland and do not add anything to the franchise. On the positive, the visuals were beautiful (as always) and Fassbender was excellent (again!).
