A monument to human stupidity

Rating: 2/10 (23 September 2017)

After the release of "Prometheus", where the main characters did not behave in a very reasonable way, I really wanted the new part not to be the same in terms of the dullness of the characters. And she was not. She put a new bar: the local characters could put a monument of stupidity, they commit something stupid every 5 minutes, and their main enemy is not Alien, but their own idiocy.
And stupidity is far from the only (albeit truly main) problem of the main characters. Each member of the crew - he is a template, there is no uniqueness in it. When an accidental character dies, the others mourn him. They build sour mines and say something patterned, like "John (for example) was the best of us." The viewer is trying to arouse pity for the deceased, but instead the viewer is perplexed - who is this John in general? Who is this character at all? And this bearded character - he was originally a member of the crew? "Hey, Susan," the meanwhile comes from the screen, "tell Jack that Brian wanted to see him." Okay, here's a new warm-up for the memory: who of this team is stupid emotional impotent Jack, and who is Brian?
Do you remember the recent "Living"? There, each character had a role on the ship. Each character was felt unique and indispensable: one - a biologist, a disabled person, another - an engineer and a joker, the third - a caring physician. In the new "Alien" the characters are all the same! Yes, there are a couple of pilots, there is a biologist and more pieces of 6-7 characters, whose role in the expedition is not defined at all. Here they were introduced only for the sake of the alien to kill whom. This kind of "cannon fodder", which fills the gaps both in the frame and in the script.
Do you know what can be more typical of the actions of the main characters of the "Alien"? Replicas of the main characters of "Alien"! Classical to the point of disgrace, they could close their eyes (ears), be they even the slightest echoes of charm or logic. Each line of thought is torn from the most horrible horror film.
As for the alien himself, he also suffered a change, primarily in quantity. If in the first parts of this creation the entire film was dedicated, but now the classic Alien appears almost to the end of the film. Screen time he was given 15 minutes, despite the fact that he flaunts on all posters and trailers. But new species and phases of aliens were added. And some of these phases go against what we saw in the first part of the 30-year-old. Added background, added new inhabitants of the planet. In general, in the film, where the main thing should be exactly the Stranger, they added a bunch of all heresy, pushing the Alien himself to the background.
Is it so bad with the new "Aliens"? Let me at least at the heavenly court will be asked this question, I will answer without reproach - yes. The new part is absolutely devoid of merit. In it, everything is disastrously bad: the behavior of the characters, the script, the soundtrack. There are a lot of mistakes and inconsistencies in it, and if you first refer them to your inattention, then by the end of the movie you are convinced of the opposite. The spectator in the "Alien" is kept for an idiot. He is not answering the questions posed, he is brazenly slip plot of discrepancies, so that the plot went further along the intended track. In especially desperate moments, the creators even added a scene of passionate sex and forced heroines to go in t-shirts without a bra. All this looks like a miserable attempt to attract attention and save the long-eluded title of the king of science fiction.
