It's the mediocre of both "worlds"

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2017)

Prometheus tried something different than the original Alien series. A lot of people didn't like it. I guess that's why this movie moves away from that and goes more into the original Alien "look and feel".
So, it's somehow "between worlds". While not taking the worst of both, it's not taking the best of them either.
The most interesting thing/questions about Prometheus, who are Engineers, what were they doing and why, is pretty much abandoned here. Their "cameo" of sorts, actually doesn't make much sense - with their advanced engineering, they should have detected the arrival of the ship, contents of its crew and cargo and taken precautions... What's left is the "black goo" and the silly "evil robot". Nothing interesting.
Watching yet another "unlikely female hero" taking down the Alien isn't interesting either. I mean, if you do it once, it's interesting. If you start doing it all the time, it's not (it's also starting to seem like a rule that females are better at taking down Aliens, which doesn't make much sense, as Aliens are very physical and have little intelligence and next to no emotions).
But, other than that, movie is well done, decently acted and has no essential flaws.
So, you have some kind of "well done" bridge between the two interesting parts - original and the prequel - which succeeded at being uninteresting.
Maybe we don't need to know more, really. We now know how the Aliens were created. We can let it be and watch the original unlikely female hero take them down again, if we so wish - and, no, I don't mean a new movie w/Sigourney Weaver The Alien prequels should stop. Alien sequels, too.
