All the good writers are at Netflix

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2017)

Perhaps we were too excited to see this film, but this film has ended my desire to see another Alien movie if they are going to be written with 1 dimensional characters, predictable plots and disappointing endings. Spoiler Alert!!!!! This movie insults humankind's intelligence: Astronauts walk around on a planet with no body isolation, a self healing robot gets bested by the 10 y/o older model, then no one spots the loss of self healing ability, multiple ridiculous high risk pilot decisions, the original alien humanoids have no security protocols, the Prometheus survivor fixes the psycho robot so it can kill her - uh no, she just wouldn't have done it. This movie is just a checklist of of Alien gotcha scenes. Nothing smart about it. Ripley would be ashamed!
