High hopes dashed

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2017)

Boring characters who make really cretinous decisions, a scene about playing the flute which was totally unnecessary and a xenomorph with little screen time really sank this movie in my opinion.
There really wasn't anything to like about the characters. One was a very unsure of himself captain (only there by thermal accident). I doubt any organisation appoints an officer without being very sure of his/her management skills and belief in themselves. The second in command was in her mid twenties and unless, a genius, wouldn't be in that position.
The others were mostly cannon, or rather alien, fodder. The audience didn't get to know much about them except that a couple were good at putting their spaceships in danger.
The neomorphs were nothing great except for their growth rates. Not too sure how their hosts didn't notice their organs being pushed aside in what seemed to be a matter of minutes. Still we did get to see one headbutt happy xenomorph. Ripley had to have two goes at getting rid of hers.
Alas this movie didn't live up to expectations and really wasn't very good at all. 4/10 and 2 of the 4 are for the sets and fjord landscape.
