Stupid and unnecessary

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2020)

How could this film share the same director as the original classic? It has devolved into a clichéd and ridiculous slasher film. It attempts to tie loose ends of Prometheus and the Alien series into something coherent but fails miserably. It does not incorporate the feedback people gave for those films, as the team makes the same stupid mistakes, nothing is resolved well and the xenomorph battle is just a retread. All the navel gazing from Prometheus is gone but so is anything interesting about it. David is now a simplified slasher villain, the homeworld of the Engineers is just a dark ruin (with one city?) and it just drops the arcs of Peter Weyland and Dr. Shaw as if they were never important.
