A disgrace to Alien & Aliens

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2017)

If you loved the classic Alien or it's arguably superior sequel Aliens, trust me you will hate this. The film continues the plot of Prometheus and in no way feels like any relation to the aforementioned classics. Gone is the terror, darkness, tension and action that made those films so enjoyable and memorable. There is literally no stand out scenes, all the aliens are clearly CGI. The characters make idiotic decisions repeatedly and there are no surprises what so ever. You can see all the twists coming a mile away. Ridley Scott continues to destroy the alien legacy with his off the wall god complex origin story. The real alien is barely featured at all and is dispatched with such ease which does a great disservice to the characters from the original and makes you question how they struggled so much. Ridley Scott needs to step away from this franchise. He should be ashamed of himself. We do not need a third prequel. Let Neil Blomkamp have a go at resurrecting the franchise with a film that fans actually want!! Dido yourself a favour and do not see this film, it's dreadful. The audience was literally laughing at it!
