Really?

Rating: 6/10 (30 August 2017)

The movie was OK, watchable. If you'd never seen one of the franchise, it might be more interesting. I would have preferred a real sequel to Prometheus, where Noomi Rapace lands on the Engineer world and there create some drama, maybe deepen the Engineer mythology. Instead, they used Prometheus details as an excuse to make another Alien eats everybody and you can't trust robots story. The thing I really did not like was how this set of colonizers dealt with the situation. Water samples are taken with gloves then handed to someone's bare hands who tosses the sample into a box. The fear reactions, slipping on blood and complete lack of protocols to analyze an environment scientifically before sniffing the plant life, etc. suggested to me that these colonists wouldn't survive a trip to the Amazon jungle much less a new planet.
