Patchy, hammish and amateurish

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2017)

This is an amateur rush job with incoherent unnecessary elements that jut out like sore thumbs - worthy of a cartoony loony tunes effort that almost parodies the more seamless and logical story lines of earlier Alien - and Aliens, and dares to ride cheap on their coat tails. Naomi is utterly miscast. Her English accent is a cardboard papier mache type. Guy Pearce is superfluous. Matching Naomi in cosmic hamminess is Idris Elba's acting - woefully wooden. The twists and turns have all the impact of broccoli gloop on a cold plate. Fassbender might as well not have bothered. Badly edited, silly story line and wasted opportunities. Let's hope prometheus II - covenant is better bowled.
