Bland and boring

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2017)

I have been a huge Alien/Aliens fan since the first film came out. The first movie was a great movie there are still parts of it that make me jump and I have seen it many times. The only movie to surpass Alien was Cameron's Aliens.
This movie is a desperate attempt to give some credibility to Prometheus which was plot disaster of a movie.
This movie has none of the tension of Alien which set the gold standard in this genre for horror/jump scare movies and it misses the pace of and action of Aliens which again is a gold standard for an action/horror movies.
Out of all the Aliens movies I would consider Aliens to be the best then Alien and I would give all of the rest a miss including Prometheus and this junk it's pretty boring. Ridley is trying to re-establish himself as the owner and king of this franchise but he's fallen short again. Prometheus was a feast for the eyes with the weakest plot you could imagine. This movie tries to prop up that pile of junk and suffers for it. SPOILER David being the big villain of the movie was just weak. I'd watch Alien then Aliens and then move on.
Skip this movie
