Could have been great with a smaller budget

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2017)

With Waterson as the lead this could have been a great addition to the first 2 films, but she's tied down by a uninspired script that doesn't let her talent's shine. Unfortunately the producers/director/whoever decided to bloat the film with too many wasted characters. The film is pointless and predictable. Maybe hand the reigns over to another (less timid) director and trim the budget by $100 million and we would have ended up with something interesting and substantial.
I don't know what Blomkamp's vision for Alien 5 (or whatever) was, but it would have at least been entertaining and engaging.
