Oh dear...

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2012)

Something tells me Ridley didn't intend for this film to turn out the way it has. It's a bit of a shambles, unfortunately Alien nostalgia isn't enough to save this films credentials. It could be forgiven if the film hadn't been built up the way it had. The human element was missing, the gut feeling which the audience connects too, the mystery of movies to make one feel was not present.
Quite spectacular at times, a sort of the 'tree of life' meets Avatar, it certainly does not deserve another film and quite frankly Ridley would know this. Character connections are an issue, not only the connection between the actors own characters and the way they interact, but the connection with us. I'd suggest to see the film on 3D and at least get some kicks out of their hard work.
Better luck next time.
