Disappointing. The Hollywood money men had more of a say than Scott it seems.

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2017)

In space there are no safety officers, at least Weyland industries don't believe in them or vetting their crews for extremely expensive space missions. No following of flight plans, no following of safety or quarantine protocols or even common sense, just rash reactionary decision making that results in even more unnecessary deaths. Nice visuals, good horror but a predictable retread of all the other movies. It's obvious that the financial backers, the Hollywood suits had more of a say as to what this movie would be like than Scott did. They wanted a safe bet, the Hollywood money men's mantra "if it worked before it'll work again", so we get remakes, reworks, retreads an endless parade of the same movies being made over and over again. Terminator Genisys instead of a continuation of the Resurrection tread, Alien Covenant instead of a continuation of Prometheus. An original idea would die of loneliness in Hollywood, let's play it safe and remake.
