A trillion dollar science fiction train wreck!

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2012)

OMG! What happened here? Was Ridley Scott on vacation? The master of SF's reinvention came up with this lackluster film? Tons of inaccuracies (noisy engines in space!) and story disconnects to abnormal actions (maybe they already were all infected?).
I had high hopes in the first few minutes but I lost it soon after when these so called 'scientists' were basing a trillion dollars expedition on some cave paintings done thousands of years ago. Must have conveniently forgotten that the stars have all moved quite a bit since they were painted/drawn in the caves.
Then I started laughing out loud when they find an alien head and immediately bring it on board the ship...why? And on what basis do they decide to inject it with electricity? Is this a frigging' frog that they want to make jump? POP goes the microwave experiment! Oh I am sure you can find your own aberrations of logic and intelligence based on grade 9 science.
So who exactly is voting this movie up to a 7 anyways? I can only cough up a measly 4 and I'm being generous.
As I said, watch it as if you were there...would you do all that nonsense? And when Dr. Shaw takes off into the wild unknown, I am wondering how far she will get before she starts to get very hungry and discovers that there's no fast food or sandwiches on board the alien ship she has absconded with. Oh yes, what about a shower and a bathroom? When you undertake to spend millions of dollars of your investors money to make a movie, I would have thought that just one of the money people would have a teenager who would review it and point out all the bad stuff, otherwise I am going to go into the movie making business and surely they will buy anything?
