Why, Ridley? Why?

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2017)

I really liked Legend. I really liked Alien. I really liked The Martian.I really liked Black Hawk Down, probably the best movie on 3rd World conflict since The Battle of Algiers. This movie, however, I did not like. At all. I was stung by Prometheus, which was horribly bad, but I still wanted to believe in someone who could deliver The Martian so short a time ago. I guess you've got to gamble on which Ridley Scott shows up, because that guy took a vacation here. I don't need any spoiler alerts:I will say something I have never said before instead. Don't bother to see this film if you liked Alien or if you respect Ridley Scott. It's terrible. Not well acted; not well written; it telegraphs virtually every plot "turn"well ahead of time. It's Prometheus all over again, but if anything worse. What a shame.
