It deserves the mixed reviews it has received

Rating: 5/10 (8 June 2017)

To use the slang that was popular a few years ago, "meh!" Neither terrible nor excellent. This one at least makes sense, unlike Prometheus which asked MANY questions it just left hanging. The friend I saw it with commented on the lack of character development. And, like the red uniformed crew on the Star Trek (TOS) away missions, you end up speculating who is going to survive the encounter with a Zenomorph. In other words, as a viewer, we've been there before.
