Strangely memorable

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2016)

I didn't think I'd remember this film after watching it because I had so much annoyances with the film. Firstly, I thought the movie was a bit pointless because none of the questions that was set up in the beginning got answered. Instead a bunch of people just went to space for nothing and died there.
The whole point was to find the so-called engineers as a new scientific discovery. These characters are so naive in thinking just because the aliens have human DNA doesn't mean they want to be friends with Earthling. I guess my biggest question I still have is why did the human-droid alien kill himself with those little black things in the beginning? Can someone please tell me? Out of all the characters, I like David the robot the best. I'd like to think of him as the male lead. Michael Fassbender's performance as David is superb. I also like the graphics of the space setting.
Despite my annoyances, this film always come back to mind. I still really enjoyed the suspense, at times unexpected, and mindless entertainment this film provided. The exploration of a new planet and the mystery of the unknown is both creepy and fascinating. The mystery of the engineers is intriguing. The realization that you're isolated and can't escape the inevitable deadly creatures is strangely satisfying for a thriller movie. This movie gives me the same after-movie feeling as I had when I finished watching the Descent. Overall, I'm willing to overlook the flaws for a good popcorn entertainment.
