Epic Extraterrestrial Fail!

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2012)

First off, let me say that I have a huge fan of the Sci-Fi Horror genre. I was extremely excited to watch what was supposed to be Ridley Scott's new masterpiece in the very acclaimed Alien series. Unfortunately, I was disappointed... very disappointed.
This movie has one of the most poorly written, incoherent and nonsensical plot lines in history. Undoubtedly, the worst part of the plot is the characters. These guys are supposed be professionals in multidisciplinary fields, undertaking an interplanetary mission that will define the very meaning of our existence... Instead, they act like moronic teenagers out on an ill-prepared road trip!
In fact, these imbeciles are so dumb that by the end of the movie they will have you begging for them to all get slaughtered just so the human race's collective IQ can rise a few much-needed points.
So, why did I give this movie a 4 instead of a 1-star rating? One star is given to the very nice CGI that is really enjoying to watch. Another to Michael Fassbender's superb performance as the android. The final star goes to Charlize Theron who is the sexiest and most beautiful woman alive, and her mere presence in any movie automatically raises its rating!
My conclusion is that I would recommend watching this movie if and only if all of the following circumstances arise: 1- You are stuck on a long-haul flight 2- There is no other form of in-flight entertainment whatsoever 3- You cannot sleep no matter how hard you try 4- You need to watch something so stupid that it will bore you to a deep sleep.
Otherwise, the only feeling you will get after watching this movie is that you just lost two and a half hours of your life that you will never get back...
