Who could have known space would be so difficult?

Rating: 3/10 (15 May 2017)

The first couple of things that seem strange about the story are firstly if Walter is superior to all his previous robots. Why take David and not Walter on the Prometheus mission? Secondly what is the point of taking two homosexual men on a mission to colonise a new planet? I doubt they will have much to contribute and other than cow tow to the Hollywood PC Police I saw no point to their role in the story.
Also surely the Human race has a protocol for landing on an unexplored planet other than just get off touch stuff, breathe stuff in and blindly wander around without a care in the world. The original Alien had spacefarers that had some common sense but so far the first two bunch of clowns in this trilogy frankly deserve all they got.
Our not so bright would be colonists answer a call from John Denver and set off to alter course to what turned out to be a not so great second part. The acting was not great and the characters were totally forgettable and had no real chemistry between them unlike the original. These idiots must not have ever seen a horror movie as they do all the wrong things such as believing someone they had never met before and walking around on their own. They are an insult to idiots.
There was a lot that did not make that much sense. Why was the spacecraft where it was instead of where David said it was in his flashback. Confused? Join the queue. The evolution of the alien species does not make sense that much nor does the actions of David from the last movie to this one. Stupid action by pilot after sensibly not allowing a crew mate out of the med bay because of another crew member was infected then after both are dead opening the door and falling over on some blood. David being able to style his hair exactly like Walter with a pair of garden shears and a mirror. Shaw wanted to know why the Builders wanted to kill us? Looks like that has been forgotten. The aliens themselves were not that great either. The 1979 man in a suit far more frightening than todays CGI.
And why the semi erotic shower scene? With all hell let loose and one of their number in the med bay. Two of the crew decide it would be sensible to jump in the shower and bonk each other to loud music. Which does not work out that well as we saw on the trailer. But surely there were a lot of things needed doing than each other. But we are not dealing with the brightest bunch here.
We actually see aliens in this Alien film but most of the scenes are in the trailers so it's not as big an alien fest as we were led to believe. It has some good ideas and a lot of not so good and seemed to me like a lot of scenes from the rest of the Alien movies stitched together.
Also if anybody does not get the shock twist at the end way-way before the end then they were probably asleep.
It isn't rubbish but I have to say I expected more in every department. Alien 4 was better than this and would have been a good point to follow on from rather than this increasingly silly prequel that is all over the place and making less sense as it goes on. What the next episode will be like? Another crew of idiots wandering about another planet sniffing stuff and meeting a gory end?
To be absolutely honest there should never have been an Alien 2, which I enjoyed a lot, and Ridley should have just stuck to Blade Runner.
