Not worth watching!

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2012)

This is a terrible disappointment. What happened to Ridley Scott? The same what happened to George Lucas, David Lynch and many great Hollywood directors.
There are simply no words describing the boredom and sketchiness of this flick. Characters are shallow or totally empty, they actually have no characters. Most of them just stare at computer screens in a shock, or at alien artifacts with the same face. If we asked an amateur middle school acting class to perform something "Alienic", probably this would be the result. What we see on the silver screen defy the laws of physics, logic, and whatever comes. Heck, it even defies the Alien universe! For example, what the heck was the deal with the guy who turned into an invincible zombie? There was never anything like that, and we get no explanation. Or how come they have fancy 3D hologram user interfaces for their computers, yet the story predates the Nostromo's demise, where we only see randomly flashing lights and keyboards? The storyline is a catastrophe. A lot of events happen which are not explained and do not fit into the previous episodes' concepts. The characters often act against common sense, especially the two scientists who lose their way in the alien ship. Just how stupid should you be to start taunting an obviously hostile alien life form in an alien planet which you have just explored? Also, Mr. Weyland's mask seems like from an 1980 kids' movie. Why didn't they simply hire an old actor to play this role? A guy in a rubber mask in 2012 is simply ridiculous, at least they should have added some CGI.
Some people love this movie for being so "spectacular". Sure it is: another CGI porn. Anyone with some taste or common sense must avoid this movie, as it is awful, and not even worth downloading, let alone paying for it.
