Had I not seen all of the Alien saga, I might have liked this film.
Even though the script is leaking in a thousand ways, some images are beautiful indeed. Fassbender is not bad in his role of a solitary, movie-lover robot.
But then again, I HAVE seen Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. There was nothing more to say.
Every single moment of the film, except maybe the first few minutes, reminds me of something I already know.
A robot that looks like a human? Ian Holm was much better.
Giger's nightmarish architectures? Seen, seen, seen. Looks like the very same models have been used.
A monster lurking inside an emergency pod? Nothing new. This time, unfortunately, there is no Ripley.
A robot's head? Even the colour of the liquid oozing from its mouth - white- is the same as in Alien.
Please, Ridley, could you give me something I have not seen yet? Apparently you can't.
Nothing new under the sun.
