Awful and Incredibly predictable.

Rating: Null/10 (5 March 2018)

I keep wondering why this franchise is still alive. The series has become completely predictable in how each movie will end.
I mean seriously awful.
The directing by Scott is boilerplate at this point. Did he even bother showing up or did he just phone it in to an AD? I am serious.
The writing was as boilerplate as well. As much as they can possible get. I figure they put maybe 3 to 4 hours writing the script after a good 3 minutes of writing the plot then everyone went out and got drunk.
The crew as is in every horrible movie is a dumb as they come. WHY? Does no one has any kind on intelligence on these ships? HELL we quarantined astronauts just for going to the moon.
They are looking for a signal so they land FIVE miles from the signal. No flying over it, see what it is, realizing it is an alien spacecraft and saying. WE ARE OUT OF HERE. Or at the least landing as close as possible all suited up do a quick check and realize something is wrong in paradise and get the hell out of there and on their way.
BUT as usual the writers and director make the crew as dumb as rocks. In real like you'd have to ask yourself how they all got the job.
Poor writing to the point of why bother staying after the first 45 minutes as nothing is going to be different than any other alien movie. Hell they could have actually made the movie ten minutes long. Of course no horror effects then.
Badly disappointing. Glad I didn't bother paying for this dreck.
However on the good side.GREAT special effects guys...that is the only reason it got a ONE. Otherwise a ZERO.
