Ridley drops the ball

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2012)

This movie only gets a 3 from me for most of the special effects but in all honesty, Ridley Scott dropped the ball on this movie. For being the father of the Alien franchise, he should have known better than this. I know this movie is supposed to be independent of the Alien franchise yet was suppose to tie in with it towards the end... it didn't.
Charlize Theron's boring, cold boss just didn't make any sense when she and the David character got confrontational with each other.
Speaking of David, his motivation throughout the movie was unclear. Everything he did only left more questions for me than answers. Like how the heck did he know what the goo would do to the Holloway character? And what exactly was happening to him?
What happened to the eggs that were seen in the original Alien movie? How'd they become these canisters of genetic goo that create these white snake things with acid blood and replaceable heads?
The "pilot" was dead in the driver's seat of the ship in the opening of Alien but at the end of this, he dies at the rescue ship of the humans. And the xeno that popped out at the end?? WTF??!!
There were SOOOO many other characters that you couldn't get a feel for them? What their personalities are like, what their backgrounds are. How could you feel anything about their deaths when you have no connection to them?
