Similar to Prometheus, maybe a little bit better

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2017)

The story has somewhat more cohesion than we had in Prometheus. The characters are not smart, but I can live with that. Ridley Scott still does not understand biology. In order to grow, an organism needs food (energy, building blocks) and time. The old alien movies understood that part. In these movies the aliens can grow in 5 minutes from 5kg to 500kg without any food. I think Ridley Scott is still struggling with putting enough action in the film and applying basic scientific principles the same time. Without that it is hard to follow what is happening, because it is too far from reality. My impression about this film was that they tried to make the Prometheus film again. They had some minor success compared to the previous trial, the David character is much better now. Maybe after 2-3-4 similar films Ridley Scott learns how to direct and make something good. Who knows...
