So bad it made AVP look good...

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2012)

On paper, AVP sounded ridiculous. Dying rich industrialist hires motley crew of professionals and mercenaries to explore ancient relics. All ended up being slaughtered by an equally motley bunch of extra-terrestrials with the exception of an alpha female lead. Well, silly yes, but at least it was silly fun.
Fast forward a couple of years, some people apparently felt that the Alien franchise was still worth milking and decided to finance a prequel (not but quite), brought back Ridley Scott (at least in name) and also threw in a few bits of pseudo religious mumbo jumbo for good measure (this being backed by American money?) As much as this will surely turn you off, the movie then felt that it should rip off the best bits of the other movies in the series. And ridiculous as AVP was, it too was not spared.
Here the (spoiler) dead/dying/and not quite dead rich industrialist hires motley crew of professionals and mercenaries to explore ancient relics. All ended up being slaughtered by an equally motley bunch of extra-terrestrials with the exception of an alpha female lead. At the same time, remove all sense of fun and suspense, but load up the movie with ridiculous dialogue and gaping plot holes, and the creme de la creme, a demonstration on how to get oneself killed under a falling spacecraft.
Really sad.
