A rework of a classic story for the next generation

Rating: 4/10 (3 July 2017)

This movie pays homage to the movies and mythos of the past and ignores all the existential questions brought forth in Prometheus. He/Ridley or the studio/money have laid the foundations for a space horror series. The Engineers were reduced in this movie to a point of irrelevance. Elizabeth's sacrifice her power, wit, and determination-even her faith-were kicked aside as old ideas not worth exploring or honoring. The characters in this movie are dumb. Their judgment is even worse. As I was watching it I couldn't help but think of the countless numbers of people and concerts who need to watch what's happening right in front of them on thru their device screen. They can't enjoy the moment. Not wanting to loose it or thinking they can capture it they miss the point entirely. I am very disappointed in this film. Ridley Scott sold out for the money or he really wasn't that brilliant to begin with. What is the most frustrating is that he didn't even try. David and Dr. Frankestien? Really?
