Uninspiring but with some good moments

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2017)

As with most of Ridley Scott's work of the past two and a half decades, the movie is of mellow quality. The story isn't very profound or inspired, there seem to be a lot of gaps in the scenario and it's simply not very scary or thriller-like. I was never scared or never impressed. As is also the case with Star Wars these days, the screenplay also harks back too much to elements which made the first two Alien movies (Scott only directed the very first one) so good, but it is done in a manner which is not as brilliant as back then. As he is getting old, it seems Ridley Scott has lost 'the edge' as a filmmaker.
