are you kidding me...

Rating: 6/10 (6 October 2012)

To make the long story short, this is nothing like Alien. It seems Ridley lost his touch for sci-fi as well. Let me point out why.
The gravest part was the story. It starts with an expedition to a distant planet with a couple of people that are least suitable for the job. Come on, they are going for the man kinds biggest expedition and a couple of clueless idiot, a weird robot, a captain that acts like anything but a captain, a woman whose function was not even clear and so on. Would this be your crew for a scientific expedition? And some of these geniuses act like they saw a pet dog when they see an alien life form...
The badly chosen characters were not the only thing annoying about the story. There was almost no tension. It was like watching a B rated sci-fi channel movie. They encounter alien species and they act as if they see tigers in a zoo.
Now lets come to the acting. It was cheesy, mostly annoying and very unprofessional.
Overall, lower your expectations if you will watch it. In the end, I am not going to watch this movie one more time, ever. Shame on you Ridley Scott...
