What even was this?

Rating: 4/10 (19 March 2019)

I don't see how this has anything to do with the original Alien. I get the story but who thought this would be interesting lore in the alien franchise. It has literally anything to do with the original or Aliens.
No horror, no action, just an origin story nobody asked for.
Worst thing of the movie: the casting. Besides Fassbender, all these actors are talentless and completely uninteresting actors in their own right. When McBride is one of the main characters you know you messed up. Worst offenders though: Franco, who had a cameo because the director is completely out of touch with the modern world, and of course convicted criminal/ special snowflake: Jussie Smollett. Whoever casted this guy should be fired from life.
Overall: a mess of a movie and everyone involved in this movie should feel bad, except Fassbender who at least tried to save this movie.
