A stab in the back

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2017)

I really couldn't go past this one without commenting, I feel, as an alien fan, that Ridley Scott just stabbed me in the back. There are many reasons I think so...

Take Sigourney Weaver. Well, now forget about her, it makes no sense to compare the two. You now have a generic female character with a haircut (and sometime expressions) straight from Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber.

Forget crews from old alien movies. These guys are completely anonymous, and seem to follow only their own interests. They also seem to have the intellect of a generic cheap horror movie victim, not one moment you will feel connected to the decisions of the guys.

Forget suspense and love for details. Here the dark and detailed sceneries from the original movies are replaced by cheap CGI. Even for the aliens... And you can tell!

The plot and answers given completely ruin the original idea for me. For many reasons, which I will not go into to avoid spoilers...

Forget HR Giger as well. You will see random pictures thrown in there, but, unlike Prometheus where they were somehow decently recycled, here you will get stuck with generic designs.

I could go on forever... But honestly, if you are a fan of alien I suggest you wait for the bluray and avoid getting your heart broken!!
