Time to stop

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2017)

The first Alien film was basically a horror movie in space (no one can hear you scream) while the second was a kick ass war movie (in 1986 a Vietnam redo/underestimating one enemy parable. The late Bill Paxton stole the show). But after that the Alien movies that have followed have been unnecessary money grabs (Ok, that might be an oxymoron to Hollywood execs).
The final death spiral of the franchise has to be the beautiful and utterly nonsensical Prometheus and this Prometheus sequel. Again, like Prometheus, there are some very well done set pieces in the film, especially the fights. But the overarching God creator nonsense falls apart in so many different ways (what about other primates?) and once again the crew is so clueless that I found myself in the theater asking" Why am I sitting here?" Well, I won't be sitting there five years from now when Hollywood attempts to cash in again.
