A Sad Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2017)

As a huge fan of Alien and H.R. Giger work, I was waiting for this movie since Prometheus and unfortunately it was not good at all.
** SMALL SPOILER AHEAD **
How can a crew commanding a ship with 2000 people that is supposed to colonize another planet take so many bad decisions? Or better, ONLY bad decisions?!
Quick example, how does the pilot (Tennessee) puts in risk the whole ship by getting close to the planet just to talk to his wife? How's even possible to override the ship's artificial "intelligence"?
I won't even bother mentioning the other silly actions from the crew but they look more like a bunch of amateurs whose actions are taking impulsively without any logic or any basic training.
If they had put Peter Griffin to head the expedition no one would have noticed and it would be at least hilarious.
All the characters are shallow and my impression is they were only there to serve as Alien meat.
On the positive side, the shots are beautiful and immersive. The different aliens are pretty cool but nothing too scary or unpredictable. Oh, they grow really really fast, it is amazing!
It is a shame Ridley Scott wasted a great plot and an excellent acting from Michael Fassbender on such a weak and silly movie.
