I will watch Alien and Aliens again now for Recovery.

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2017)

Spoilers! Does R. Scott predict that in the future our planet scanning from space will be non-existent?
Why didn't they orbit the planet a few times before putting on the brakes and making a bee-line to the surface right away?! Then they would have seen impressive cities everywhere made by these incredibly advanced civilisation...abandoned! A scan would have shown *danger! no life signs!*, and they could have continued on their way. How about sending a few rovers to look for clues?
It seems that the aliens have devolved, too, as they allowed a space craft return to their planet (through what should have been an impressive planetary defense system)unchallenged, and let them approach the surface. Also, I'd think some alien somewhere in an enclosed area just by chance would have been able to alert the rest of the planet about the attack, and to get advanced weapons and armour out of storage.
Yes, I will now watch the first and second Alien movies again to revive my enjoyment of a great sci fi concept.
