Is Ridley Scott trying to take the "King of Horrible Prequels" title away from Lucas? SPOILERS

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2017)

Prometheus was a horrible disappointment - but this movie sets the bar even lower. Scott manages, between this outing and the previous film, to literally take the Alien and mystery right out of "Alien" - in the same way that Lucas sapped the magic and mystery from the Force with his concept of Midichlorians.
And the film is so derivative of previous films.
Important character from previous film killed off between movies as was Newt in Alien 3? Check!
Obligatory Female protagonist? Check.
You think the alien is dead, and the movie over? But it's not. Check.
Strategy to blow the alien into the vacuum of space? Check
Sloppy, unoriginal, lazy film-making. The loss of Dan O'Bannon still haunts this franchise.
