Ridley Scott is past it

Rating: 4/10 (23 September 2012)

The plot was supposed to be: 1) Ruins found in Africa with a map to space jockey planet 2) Build FTL-capable ship 3) Briefing before setting off 4) Reach space jockey planet to "meet our makers" 5) Someone acting alone or working for Weyland steals tech 6) Space jockeys retaliate by using their bio-weapon to kill everyone on the ship 7) Something goes wrong and the bio-weapon kills the jockeys too. 8) 2 or 3 survivors make it back to earth 9) Nice tie-in to Alien
Not only was the plot entirely different and inferior but the acting was overall way below par with Fassbender the only good element.
Ridley Scott screwed up royally: -poor acting -lack of explanation -massive plot holes -forgetable soundtrack
