A worthy successor to Prometheus

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2017)

I don't quite understand what Ridley Scott could possibly have done to make all these naysayers happy. The very people who whined about a lack of xenomorphs in Prometheus are now whining about either an abundance of them or a lack of engineers.
I personally liked it a lot and believe that it is a worthy successor to Prometheus (though Prometheus stays my top favorite of the franchise). It has the philosophical connotations that made Prometheus so great, at least in my eyes. It does answers some questions even if not all.
Besides that, I don't agree with all those people complaining about how stupid the crew members are. It is because they don't know they are in a horror movie! Period. The events that occur in this movie were not something that any of the crew members was expecting. They had not seen the previous movies in the franchise. They could not possibly have, because they are IN the movie!
Also I note that people are not impressed by it not because it is not good but because they have seen it all in the previous installments in the franchise. Had it been the first in the franchise, it would have hailed as a masterpiece like Alien.
The cinematography is gorgeous. The xenomorphs and the newly added neomorphs are terrifying as hell. These creatures never looked so great in the history of this franchise. The winner is, however, David/Walter, without any doubts. The character's intentions were already quite obvious in Prometheus but the way he used Shaw to achieve his deeds was terrifying. I believe this movie truly deserved the R-rating it has got and had made a great use of it. The movie does feel to end abruptly, without a satisfying ending. I am so looking forward to the next installment(s) and truly hope that studio gives Scott the green light for that. This is Scott's baby and I would be so happy if he controls its fate rather than getting someone new for it (Blomkamp).
I personally wanted to see more of engineers. The mystery surrounding these creatures was one of the best things about Prometheus. But probably all these people who were unhappy with Prometheus made Scott add more of xenomorphs in it and less of engineers. And the irony is that it could still not make these people happy.
In a nutshell, it's a must see it if you are an Alien (franchise) fan and especially if you liked Prometheus.
