Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2012)

What a disappointment- the long awaited prequel never really grips and lacks the suspense and drama of the original movie. With Ridley Scott back in the helm, there were great expectations there are some moments but they never hold your attention long enough and you keep wondering when is it going to take off when is there going to be any suspense as to what the deadly creature may do or look like or whatever- When action happens; it just happens no build up to it. A film that has great visual and stunning effects but lacks the ingredient that made Alien so excellent- with Alien you were kept on the edge of the seat you wondered what was around the corner. sadly this film you couldn't care less what was around the corner by the time it ends you are pretty well glad the credits are rolling. Sad really, really, sad a great ensemble cast but the script was written in a tea break, the best line concerns a female proving she isn't a robot.
