It's over.

Rating: 3/10 (27 April 2018)

Even with the rivets ominously popping out (aka Prometheus), I was still eager to see this story/franchise continue. It could have been salvaged, it might have been salvaged, but it's now miserably obvious that this one's a write-off. Cosmic engineers? Grand philosophical questions or origin? Eh, let's eff all that, and hang the whole damn thing on around Fassbender's character. We'll make him Robot Hannibal Lecter in space, throw in cheap cgi, off-the-shelf cliche and profit. There isn't ever the pretense of aspiration here, just naked cash grab. Alien is over. Pity.
