Yet more incompetent fools allowed in space

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2017)

The failings of Prometheus just carry on and on and on...
Just as with Prometheus we get yet another crew who shouldn't be allowed to ride a waltzer let alone crew a space ship. One bad decision or lack of leadership after another. It simply beggars belief. I'll not bore everyone with the details of their many failings as I suspect many other reviewers have done just this, but since when would anyone send any but the very best crew on such a massively expensive and important mission? The deputy captain is the biggest case in point having zero leadership ability at all. Who writes these scripts? Who says "Yes, that's a good script. Let's work with that." Again as with Prometheus the visuals are superb. All the difficult bits have been done really well but yet again a plain awful script and screenplay is in use. The ending in particular could have been guessed by any 10 year old 30 minutes from the end of the film.
Does the industry deliberately set out to make films so badly these days because I'm finding it hard to understand how such mistakes are repeated time and again. Is the average film goer really lapping this rubbish up thinking it quality? If so we'll be extinct long before the Alien gets us. After Prometheus I gave Ridley Scott the benefit of the doubt in that he'd stumbled badly but after two completely identical failures I see no point in watching any further efforts he may make. I'm tired of being treated like a fool.
