I miss Sigouney Weaver's Butal cleavage so much...

Autoplagaristic chore of a movie. It's just Prometheus again. One wonders if this movie's themes of creation and hubris could have been the basis for an amazing science fiction saga. But I just don't care about any of it. The characters don't feel like the characters in a movie but those in a videogame you get to neither play nor save from anything. They're just there.
Perhaps to someone with a more refined palette this movie has a lot to say but even with all the nifty alien stuff and fancy technology, it's hard to stick with this movie for more than 20 minutes at a time. I literally did not pick up which one was Daniels until just before the end.
Also, I didn't really get that David and Walter look alike either.
The climax just feels a bit whatever about itself and despite all the expensiveness this movie oozes, I just struggle to get find any reason to care about it.
Part of me is especially annoyed by the ending but I totally get why they're not making a sequel. Enough resources have been squandered on this misguided attempt to find in prequels what Stars did a thousand times better.
I know this was kind of a passion project of Scott but for all his attention to detail he forgot the basic pleasures of story telling.
At least the creatures and design is pretty fun.
