Morons, morons, everywhere!

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2017)

Visually not bad but the story is sadly lacking and predictable. The characters are not professionals they are morons and idiots who do absolutely stupid things to advance the plot. They really aren't memorable, though as others have said Fassbender does a decent job.
*spoilers* 1) The ship has an accident and the captain dies, gets BBQ'd in his cryo tube. His replacement is terrible, he's indecisive and lacking leadership qualities yet blames his short comings and lack of promotions on his being religious.
He then alters course to an unknown planet despite the formal objections of his second in command, mostly because the crew doesn't want to go back into cryo. You might think a colony ship might not have the fuel to drastically alter course on a journey that is taking them 10 freaking years and well away from any help or external supplies. Oh wait, lets deploy solar sails in the middle of nowhere and top off the tanks...on what? Any meaningful solar energy would mean they are about an AU or two from the star give or take depending on the star. Nope. Middle of nowhere AND they get hit by some "event" that seems like a super-nova yet isn't because they survive it with light damage. Gah! For science fiction this is very lacking in science.
2) They go to an unknown planet with no environmental gear. Hello? Diseases or other pathogens? Nawwww! We aren't worried about those on a curiously Earth-like planet devoid of animal life. Hey but we got AR-15s and shotguns though...yeah we got androids that can pass for humans and colony ships that are FTL but still carry a 150 year old firearm. Could have at least carried a precursor to the M41A Pulse Rifle for Pete's sake.
3) Major gripe with most Hollywood productions. THE CAPTAIN AND RANKING OFFICERS DO NOT GO ON AWAY MISSIONS!!! Roddenbury was a moron about this and has tainted nearly every other "Ship" based show. That is what Marines and other trained professionals are for. The Captain and XO go down to the planet with a majority of the crew leaving like three people on board the colony ship.
4) The crew seems to be paired up and this is generally bad practice. They have been in cryo so no relationships could have developed, which means they were selected with knowledge beforehand. This leads to stupid decisions based on emotion, the main reason why the crew should not be involved with other crew. Family as passengers? Sure. The main mission is to protect the ship and colonists and having family in the "cargo" gives them an incentive for protecting the colonists and ship. Having your wife as pilot of the away shuttle and in danger and screaming in panic over the radio? Not so much.
5) None of this crap jives with the AvP narrative of ancient pyramids and such. Yeah I know its not canon, but it was actually better than this garbage. Pinocchio with daddy issues and a God complex creates monster which in turn kills humanity. Trying to cram in too many sci-fi themes into here.
6) More stupid choices...lets go roaming around the creepy building by ourselves so the monster can pick us off and the crazy android can infect us instead of keeping together. Oh and lets not keep an eye on the crazy android living in the middle of a city filled with dead aliens. Finally, lets skip quarantine measures after having been on a planet infected with a weaponized virus.
Sadly disappointed in this one. Prometheus had some issues, but they could have been smoothed over had this been done correctly. So glad I skipped this in the theater.
