What a complete mess. What a waste of a massive budget.

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2017)

Prometheus set up the Alien universe to expand into exciting new story lines. They could have easily spun off 2 big draws a year for the next 5 years.
But they punted and, in the process, destroyed a promising story.
I understand Prometheus doesn't have only fans but it was a great setup. It was disheartening to see it thrown away in front of my eyes during the movie.
I never thought Damen Lindelof understood how to end a good story, but replacing him seems to have made the story worse.
As most other reviewers here will tell you - you may want to just go watch movie to see how a story that was left hanging for FIVE YEARS ended (Prometheus was made in 2012). But just be ready for dissatisfying answers.
At this point, now that the genre is pretty much regressing and confused, I think it's time for some other writers/studios to stand up and develop on the overarching intrigue of the last movie.
As for Ridley Scott, what can I say except that we'll miss your talent. You're past your prime. Stop effing up your legacy.
On to the next.
