Very ordinary film with some good sequences

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2017)

This was a very ordinary film, the like we've seen dozens of times over and over. But it did do the important task of attempting to stitch together the end of Prometheus and the beginning of Alien.
That said there are LOTS of poorly constructed story and answer lines.
e.g.
*The Engineers do not share their technology, they incubate their clone offspring to amalgamate with their new host planet and that's it. That's what they did for us, yet here we are to believe that Planet 4's people have seen and used the Engineer spaceships before?
*David for all that he's become is still a machine, for a machine to transcend machine learning and make cogitative decisions especially those pertaining to right and wrong and pretty unbelievable.
*The Engineer Homeworld is clearly a misrepresentation, this planet was just an outpost or colony, you can hardly expect a neo-sentient species to reside on one planet in one city?!
* I did enjoy the parts of nature and beauty of this new world. It did look natural and virgin for such a transformation to take place.
* Captain T taking the huge mothership down to the planet was utterly ridiculous. Even in stories of old, that would never happen. Also how utterly ridiculous was it that spouses and partners traveled together. Obviously emotional decisions will be made antithetical to logical and rational ones, leading up to poor results.
Can't believe they missed all this.
All that said, I am somewhat satisfied, at least we know what and where Prometheus led to. It does appear that this is a fan created movie, one which Ridley Scott *had* to direct out of popular appeal rather than artistic need.
