very angry

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2017)

I am quite angry after the extended wait for this movie. The web has said that there have been multiple scripts and writers and this is what they came up with. Lets start from the obvious point that these astronauts in charge of creating a new world would be the very best of the best, Military true time tested professionals. Yet the very first sign of trouble when the first guy started to get sick, the female crew member freaks out, doesn't consider options like quarantine or treatment outside of the ship, she just drags him dripping blood and puking right thru the ship. This is not handling it like a pro...... She runs crying and screaming like a 12y/o school girl. (help me.. help me) No trained woman, astronaut, or Military member would ever act anything like that. Each time something went wrong the default response was acting like a school field trip class screaming in panic and disarray. It started to remind me of those senseless scream movies. Not of a technical serious space sci-fi thriller. Have audiences really dumb-ed down to the level where we only want scary monsters and screaming. This Alien franchise has for the most part been intelligently written for an educated audience, but this movie fails to live up to its predecessors. To me this is insulting to all Military, Astronauts, and women in general. Making it seem that women can't act professional when problems arise. Lets not even discuss the fact that they land on a completely foreign planet and disembark without any protective gear or oxygen???? Then what ever happened to quarantine procedures, they were briefly mentioned by the crew member as she ,while panicking and screaming and covered in BLOOD, locked the first two crew members in the med bay. It just goes on and on with the entire crew acting like some kind of teenage training crew rather than the best of the best. Crew members left on the ship in orbit risk the lives of thousands of passengers so he can save his wife. Touching, yet not in the best traditions of our service men and woman who put the needs of our country over there personal needs every single day. I am sorry I just cant get over how disturbingly insulting this is to all the previous mentioned. Ken B. Retired US Military
