Ultimately disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2017)

Spoilers ahead: be warned.
The previews for this flick looked promising, enough so that I rushed to the theater on opening day. I should have waited for feedback and reviews. While there are decent special effects here and a suspenseful moment or two, this film mostly disappointed me. I didn't connect with any of the characters, there were glaring plot holes, and I saw the twist ending coming the moment the two androids squared off against each other.
The characters behaved illogically, even stupidly. The most blatant example occurred when the pilot endangered the lives of the 2000 colonists on board his interstellar cruiser by flying into a raging storm he'd been warned would tear the ship apart. And why did he do this? Because he was worried about his wife on the planet below. It never seemed to occur to him that, apart from killing the passengers he was charged with protecting, he wouldn't be able to do a thing to help his wife if the ship came apart and crashed in pieces around her.
The captain of the ship finds one of his crew members decapitated at the feet of an android that has been missing in space for ten years and an alien life-form that has the blood of his crew member dripping from its teeth. He kills the alien but not only leaves the android untouched, he lets it lead him into a cave filled with alien eggs, accepts the android's assurance that the alien eggs are "perfectly safe," and promptly sticks his nose in the middle of a just-opened egg.
I understand there are more films to come in this franchise. I sincerely hope for something fresh and different in those movies. Like, maybe, interesting characters who behave intelligently and logically when facing the unknown. And maybe a plot that doesn't rehash old story ideas again and again but introduces an intriguing spin that takes the franchise in new, unexplored directions.
