The biggest disappointment ever (contains spoilers)!!!

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2017)

As currently on my forties and a great fun of Ridley Scott I went to the cinema with very high expectations. Unfortunately, I have been harshly disappointed. I will not even concentrate to the poorly conceived future gadgets, where the tablet they use for a video is much inferior than the one I currently have, or on the supposedly philosophic content, that doesn't make any real sense. I will only concentrate on the story line. The story seems to be written by a 10-year-old kid with no idea about basic science and space exploration, but without even using common sense or simple project management principles. Just to mention a few examples (Warning; Spoilers are following). 1) OK, due to a malfunction the crew is awake in the middle of a long journey to a prospect colony planet and they discover from their ship sensors that a planet that may be even better than the target one lies relatively close and there seems that a radio transmission is originating from it. So, what they do? Do they just send a message back to earth for future further investigation and continue their trip? No, they abandon year of research and preparations and they head for the new planet with only the second in command protesting. 2) So, they arrive in orbit above the newly discovered planet. Do they sent a drone or something to further investigate? Of course not. They sent their only shuttle with a full crew, with BOTH the commander and the second in command plus their ONLY android who is the only one that normally stays awake during hibernation to maintain the ship, leaving only a skeleton crew behind and a few thousand colonists in hibernation. 3) The next moment that you really start wandering about the IQ of the crew, is when they land in the unknown planet and before the ship computer even completes the atmosphere analysis, the whole crew just jumps out of the ship without any protective clothes just like a primary school in a field trip. Their only provision is to take their guns with them (no concern about microbes, viruses etc in an unknown planet) 4) Furthermore, during the expedition they really feel at home touching with their hands whatever unknown vegetation they come across. 5) Obviously at that point everything starts to go to hell, Aliens are chasing them, their shuttle is destroyed and another android appears and leads them at his cave. Although from the beginning it seems that something is wrong with this Android they still trust it and very soon they start wondering again relaxed in the cave getting eaten one by one. The best part is when the commander realized finally that the android is partly responsible for the deaths of the crew, but still follows it ALONE, in a room where the Alien cocoon lie and as all the others he feels an irresistible force to touch the cocoon and then to peer inside (at this point fully expect-ably the alien infant jumps in his face). 6) In the meanwhile, the two people left in the main ship are putting in risk the whole ship and all colonists inside by bringing the ship much closer than the safety limit against the warnings that the poor ship's computer is screaming to them and they organize a rescue mission with a completely unsuitable freighter that they have available. 7) In the end they pick up from the planet a couple of crew members that are still alive and one of the androids that they just assume that it is their own and not the evil one, just because it looks like their own (it misses a hand like their own). Guess what; It is the evil one- 8) Happily they return in the main ship where an alien at some point jumps out of the intestines of one infected crew member, it kills a few more crew members (at this point you are so angry with their stupidity that you don't really care) and finally is blown out of the main ship together with all the heavy vehicles intended for the new colony. 9) At this point we have: 90% of the crew dead. All heavy vehicles ejected in space, various damages to the ship, the only shuttle destroyed. Do they decide to return to Earth? Of course not. They continue the initial mission to colonize as if nothing has happened. 10) They movie finishes when the last crew member finally realizes (at the time that she is put into hibernation) that the Android they took from the planet in not their own, but the evil one, but it is too late to react and the bad android has brought some Alien seeds into the ship. To conclude in the end if you would like to see a movie that makes sense and the heroes don't behave as complete morons I would suggest to watch a serious movie like the "Beauty and the beast". On the other hand if you would like to have a fun and a really good laugh in the cinema, go for Alien – Covenant. You will leave with a smile and a life lesson that if you behave as a complete idiot, you may even die in the end.
