Epic success.... in the history of stupid films

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 2012)

I don't know why Ridley Scott could approve such a stupid story. Nowadays, if scientists found a frozen ancient animal under the tundra, they will take precautions to prevent infection by ancient unknown micro-organism.
If you are the scientist in 2093, when you arrive at the first ever known E.T. structure in a strange planet, and you found there were breathable air, will you take off your helmet, provided that you know nothing about the biology of the planet?
OK, suppose you have taken off your helmet, when you see corpse of the alien life forms and the unknown vessels, would you think of putting back your helmet to prevent infection?
Suppose you are the poor geologist or biologist, why do you think you can leave the team and walk back to the entrance of the strange structure?
Suppose you are the biologist, when you see the first ever-know alive E.T. life form, which is a snake-like creature, why do you think it's vegetarian? Why do you try to touch it like touching Mickey Mouse in Disneyland?
Suppose you are the Weyland company's representative on the ship, why do you think your room and the surgery room need not be locked?
The story is so weak and stupid. It's weak in the sense that the audience need not worry about any further infection or invasion of alien at all, because the infected poor boyfriend dies so quickly, the baby alien is locked up so easily, and our dear Android David gave up doing experiments on his fellow team members so quickly.
Our dear archaeologist sweetheart (Noomi Rapace) even doesn't look like the main actress. She sounds like a tourist, even her boyfriend and several crews were killed. She did nothing to change the situation nor to prevent further tragedy. After her surgery, she simply followed the old man to visit the engineers.
The corporate iron lady (Charlize Theron)... well, I though she should do something at last. But she dies like a fool. That's all.
I waited for this story since I was a kid. I love the Alien movie so much. But what I watched is a story about a group of stupid scientist acts like tourists.
