Muddled And Very Incosistent

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2014)

Ridley Scott is a hugely talented filmmaker. Yes, he is. Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Mike Fassbender are all good actors. Yes, they are. 3D effects and awesome, and all the creatures are extremely realistic. True. Now, there is such a thing as a plot hole. Here, many plot holes. Very many plot holes. I watched this muddled 2-hour bog of pseudo-sci-fi, quasi-religion, as-if-moral film and could not but ask many questions/ Why? Why was that liquid drunken at the very beginning? Who are those white tentacles? Why killing all the humans? Who is that big white Space Jockey and why does he behave he does? Why was that planet abandoned? Why those containers? Many questions and all are unanswered. Sadly, but so. I simply watched just to see the end, which was very confusing and rushed-up. And the sequel? No, thank you, ma'am. That will be truly flabbergasting, to say the least. Noomi is OK, but still she is just a second rank actress, and while she was OK in that Swedish trilogy, here she seems to be a bit clumsy and sluggish. Charlize? Cool, too cool. Cold, I say. It is a film to watch once and easily forget.
