Hit and a miss?

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2017)

Well, i don't quite know what to make of this movie, i was really looking forward to it, so, i don't know if it has been my expectations being too high, or if the film was really a mediocre offering. I really wanted to enjoy it, but it didn't do it for me. It was OK! everything about it was OK!, but something niggles and continues to niggle and i think it was the story, it was, well.....predictable and i mean, forehead slappingly predictable. The acting was meh! The visuals were as expected of an Alien movie. The whole thing seemed an effort rather than exciting. Was it meant to be a popcorn no brainer? Are all the Alien movies just that? if so, then am i looking for too much out of these films. I love the Alien films, but this one, was, well a meh!. Again, maybe i am being harsher than i need to be, but when you enjoy a series of films, a less than perfect addition to the stable, can leave you feeling disappointed and that i'm afraid is the feeling i got when the end credits rolled.
Not a dud, but not a stunner.
