This Is A Comedy, Right?

Rating: 3/10 (23 July 2016)

As a comedy, I'll give it 4 out of 10.
As a sci-fi film I'll give it -10.
I mean, there were times when I burst out laughing, like when the two reptile things emerged from the black goo and the stupid guy started getting closer and saying how beautiful "she" was right up until the moment the beautiful creature broke his arm and strangled him, bled acid all over the other stupid guy and then went down his throat.
Well, that was so funny I nearly fell of my chair.
Did the producer - good old Ridley Scott - not actually watch any of the moon shots? Did he not notice a sort of "professionalism" in the way actual, i.e. real, astronauts behaved, how they went about their jobs, how they talked to each other?
If so, how can he expect anyone to believe these characters in this film were believable? They weren't believable and so the whole film becomes a joke. So perhaps he meant it as a joke.
Pity really, because instead of remembering Ridley Scott as the producer of the excellent Alien films, I'll now remember him as the producer of this nonsense.
Update June 2017:
Just started watching it from the beginning - looks like I missed the first 10 minutes before. So I have a question:
The ship is full of people who were in some king of cryogenic status and were re-activated. Then the first thing they do is attend some kind of induction meeting where they learn what the trip to a galaxy far far far away is all about.
So are we supposed to believe that all these people didn't know where they were going or what the purpose of this momentous trip was all about?
Just like real astronauts, I guess - you know, no training, no knowledge of how to use their ship, just a bunch of idiot people signing up for something they know nothing about.
So very realistic.
