The stupid, profiteering movie making I've come to expect from Hollyweird.

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2017)

After the excellent and promising build-up of Prometheus, the return to esoteric and alien mysteries in Scott's universe seemed to be revitalized. I was intrigued to see what we would find out about the world and the engineers in this next installment. However, Scott decided to take us on a predictable, yet stupid departure from Prometheus. Here is a quick summary of the lame crap they pulled with this one:
-Just leave the intriguing and scary prospect of really finding out more about our origins, and go back to a slasher action flick.
-Just hope the alien name in the title and the trailers would draw in lots of viewers, along with those like me who were mystified and intrigued by Prometheus, then fail to deliver anything new or exciting.
-Throw in a bunch of over-hyped A-listers and others from Hollywood, just to leave most of them disjointed or unexplored.
-Continue dragging out what could have been a great chapter in explaining the history and origins of mankind, by interrupting the epic start of Prometheus with this silly nonsense, purely to maximize sequels/prequels and make more money off of new or unsuspecting movie goers.
-Have the main plot and scenes of the film all be revealed in the trailer, with little to add to it in the actual full length film.
This is just exploitation and redundancy with lame characters and plot development; it is as if they have nothing else to say, after asking profound questions about the engineers and humanity in Prometheus, and just decided to throw some footage together and hope Fassbender's David and some weird alien action would redeem it all and hope that the audience forgets what the hell they even came for. This film was a huge letdown, in the vein of the 200 transformers, Fast and Furious, or Star Wars reboots that these fools keep pimping out to steal every last dime from the public that they possibly can, whether it involves a legit. story or real mystery or answers or not.
