Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (8 June 2012)

All of us heard a lot of interviews, were inundated with viral marketing and heard sentences like "all-about-everything" or how smart the screen writers and producers where thinking the audience is. Taken all this the plot lags far behind. Seriously you would be Peter Weyland recruiting a team for a multi trillion expedition and all what they are doing when getting to the planet is messing around and not being diligent enough. I'd rather go to a pharmaceutical company recruiting scientists experienced with biological hazards than sending the team which we have seen in the movie. Peter Weyland at least that was my interpretation had some hope to prolong his life. Is this the best approach to fulfil Peter's dream. Besides the screenplay is expected not to answer all questions but the one we have seen here leaves too many questions open. At least Ridley Scott admitted in an interview that screenplay writing is not his strength but Lindelof did a better job in Star Trek than he did here. The atmosphere and the visuals were excellent this prevented me giving it a 1-awful. Hollywoods needs to come to terms how plots get reviewed prior to start filming. The audience would appreciate if the story is as interesting as the sets.
