A film worthy of being sent into deep space and shot out an airlock

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2019)

I really have to admire Mr. Scott. I didn't think it was possible to make a film worse than the nonsensical, imbecilic, rambling, disjointed, pseudo-religious, laughable mess that was "Prometheus," yet somehow, the dedicated Mr. Scott managed to do so remarkably easily. So, congrats, Ridley - you've made a film so bad it makes your truly horrendous previous effort look good by comparison. Quite an accomplishment. Good on ya, mate.
I will give Scott credit for one worthy effort, however. While we are so often presented with visions of distopian futures where humanity is reduced to a brutal game of survival of the fittest, it is laudable that Mr. Scott instead chose to portray a brighter, happier, more just and equitable future in which the mentally challenged, the mentally unstable, and the mentally incompetent are not locked away, cast aside, or institutionalized, but where, despite their severe cognitive and emotional disabilities, they can nonetheless aspire to become captains and first mates, science officers, and engineers on the most important, expensive deep-space missions ever conceived. Portraying that kind of progessive corporate culture from the Weyland Corp is a rare, wondrous vision indeed. Kudos, Mr. Scott - people at the furthest, lowest reaches of the spectrum deserve employment on multi-billion dollar space ventures, too. Thank you for your brave portrayal of the non-discrimination policies of the future.
The only remaining question is whether Scott, if given the chance, can somehow make the next Alien film even worse than this abomination. I believe he can. I believe in your ability to sink even lower, Mr. Scott, because I choose to believe.
