Should not have been allowed by the (new?)owners - religious guff inserted.

Rating: 3/10 (30 November 2019)

Full of character-inconsistencies / plot-holes, crammed with cliches/tension-seen-it-befores, inadaquete lead-up to transitionary-actions-that-lead-to-the-next-scene, like the 'accidental' touching of the activation-globe thing, that gets the alien ship activated... oh yes,.. the guy just happens to go right for it, before anything else... ??.. so just generally poor/unbelievable screenplay and too-easy coincidences and yeah, lead-ups...
...and with far too much distracting/baffling sentimentality filler,..
... EVEN IF, this film's original adaption of the book, cut&paste the religious guff from the partly-imaginable premise of the sole-survivor android,.. which was unnecessary and also distracting, on the part of the writer/s, but to be fair to the producers of an adaptation OF, a book, might have already been there,.. it still puts far too much FOCUS, on whatever remnant-pieces of the past, whichever religious parallels, or whatever's meant to be being GUESSED AT,.. while only IN, remnants,..
...are totally distracting, interest-losing, and taking focus away from the evil-corporation MAIN-plot, that is the basis for the background, motivations, and general doom&gloom, for the general human population,..
...and instead, an absurd amount of time is spent on supposed-to-be awe-inducing ... ooo... parallels? mysteries without any substance in the original book-version?..
...which detract this film so much, it isn't really, a Alien movie, and to be blunt, i think it should be de-registered AS one, and taken off the shelves.

Exploited by thinking-themselves endlessly creative, as opposed to endlessly obsessive/repetative over their obsessed-over religion's moments-in-time ... and not intervened during production, to get it out of it's inevitable failure in having been hijacked BY, interpreting scenes out of the book, so lets do 20m worth on the Bonkers Androids makeshift arts&crafts, because we want to show off our props making skills, and ability to portray a scene... yawwwwnnn... i thought i was watching an ALIEN FILM... not having gone to a musuem ... BUUUUUULLL ****.
A waste of time and money and effort, and to be blunt again, the props and scenery designers, and special-effects/audio/cinematography crew, would've been better spent on something else.
ANYthing else.
Tips for their own school children's school productions.
I only gave this stars at all, for, those actual efforts.

0 for editing, writing, adaption, or pre-production producing, in terms of what kind of AUDIENCE, they were going to get watching it.
Good thing i only watched it on TV, and didn't have to pay to see it - who says TV's not good for anything?
