Should have been on Syfy Channel... Late night

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2012)

In order to enjoy this movie, you would have to be versed with the complete Alien and Alien vs Predator franchise. As a fan of this franchise I will show you the time-line and where this crap of a movie fits in... Pay attention: PREDATOR, PREDATOR 2, AVP, AVP 2, PROMETHEUS, ALIEN, ALIENS, ALIEN 3, ALIEN RESURRECTION.
Fans will find this movie so mismatched and leaving you with a lot of questions severely unanswered. Thus, this movie judging from its ending is suggesting a sequel.
Same basic plot. Astronauts, travel to a far away planet to explore and wakes something up that is hostile. In this movie, it takes place before Sigourney Weaver's character (Ripley) made first contact with the Alien Species in the 1979 classic "Alien". In "Alien", the exploration team comes across a huge corpse in a control chair, long dead. In PROMETHEUS, you get to see what these beings looked like... 10 foot tall humanoids.
Archaeological finds inspire the crew of PROMETHEUS, funded by WEYLAND of course, to travel to this vague planet on a search for mankind's beginning. It is believed that the 10 foot Humanoids "engineered" the human species but was disappointed with mankind..so the Humanoids began harvesting Alien DNA to distribute through the universe as a means to destroy mankind.
While the scientists are trying to figure this all out, the on board android (DAVID) is trying to undermine the efforts of the scientists under the wishes of WEYLAND.
One crew member is infected by drinking some Alien DNA and then sexually transmitting the DNA to another crew member. Forms of ingestion that has never been in ANY of the Alien movies.
For those looking for an all out war against hordes of Alien Drones.. You won't find it here. The only Alien species in the whole movie have octopus properties, and one big face-hugger. NOT A SINGLE DRONE.
The movie is long and drawn out with virtually no action until the last 20 minutes with the predictable lone survivor and a decapitated android. Crew expendable.
The alien Franchise can only return with hard knuckle action and questions answered. To serenade the fans with this movie is borderline disrespectful.
