Was this was an FX Made-for-TV-Special?

Not "maybe". Yes, it contains spoilers.
Holy Cow, who wrote this drivel? I'm almost speechless. The stupidity in this movie knows no bounds. First, nobody on this ship acted like a scientist. Taking your helmet off in a foreign environment, touching the local fauna without a clue as to whether it's lethal or not, breaking quarantine, not wanting to use quarantine when it's warranted. Then there's the stuff that would lose you your job no matter where you worked: hopping into bed with whomever, animosity towards all your fellow workers, inability to work with anyone and be a team player. Really, the inability of anyone on this ship to act like a civilized grown up made it very difficult to care what happened to anybody or anything.
Weyland's "old man" makeup was laughable. Really.
I don't care what kind of medicine they have in the future, nobody is going to go running and jumping and fighting and climbing after having their stomach cut open and stapled back together if it was done like that. If they wanted to prove how tough she was, why didn't they just cut off three of her limbs and have her save the universe with one thumb? As it got more and more ridiculous, all I could think of was Monty Python's Black Knight, "It's only a flesh wound!" Then, THEN, we get to the final shot. The creature. Wait, I've seen this scene before. The chest ripping; the alien. Seriously? Two hours so you could show me THAT? This was a Prequel? Ugh.
