Don't expect too much

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2017)

I have been looking forward to this movie for so long, so when I got around to watching it. I've never felt so underwhelmed by a film before.
It didn't have that ALIEN feel to me, I understand Prometheus was more of an explanatory film about the whole fiasco of these aliens, but this was just lack lustre.
There were no "edge of your seat feelings", the first 45 minutes killed me beyond belief, I kept expecting something to jump out at me but nope, nothing.
I didn't get James Franco's part and how he was originally the captain and the big fire scene, it was completely off point and topic, the characters had no stories like previously, just a bit of a shambles with their parts.
The middle section seemed rushed because they spent 45 minutes concentrating on flying the ship into the plant and all that palava.
The ending was predictable which didn't disappoint me entirely but I could see it coming.
One scene out of the whole film stood out for me like ALIEN normally does and that wasn't even at the end.
I wouldn't say don't go and see it but just don't expect much.
