Why Ridley, why...

Rating: 2/10 (30 January 2018)

You're looking at an alien movie with a 6.5 rating on imdb: you know something's wrong.
This was the movie to save the questionable choices of Prometheus. And they failed, all that could go wrong went wrong.
The cast is forgettable at best, I get it it's an horror sci-fi movie, people are going to die so don't bother with them but still. I don't even remember a single character name.
The engineers, ah finally! Answers! Nope, Fassbender wipes an entire civilization (of super advanced aliens who might have created the human kind) with an airstrike. They seemed defenseless, weak and expandable. No answers, they're dead.
Something I liked was the ear contamination thing and the quite cool birth of the first alien hybrid in the ship. The scene was well done, gross, stressful... I'll give you that. After that, the movies goes downward.
For instance, David said he created the perfect creature talking about the whole egg, facehugger and alien thing. No, no you didn't. The ear spore infection was way more effective and the alien that came out was pretty fast and dangerous!
Not going to list all the bad things but it's basically a horror movie. A bland, empty horror movie, where people remove AGAIN their helmets and get in trouble. They have to stick together but they freak out, blow their ship and of course, split in a dark scary place. If I'm not mistaken, one chick goes to take a shower after they all almost died and they're surrounded by dead engineers.
I could make a more intellectual review, about the acting, the music, the visuals (pretty cool actually) but to be honest it's not worth it. It's a bad horror movie that, like Prometheus, shouldn't be linked to the alien franchise.
