Not up to the quality of Alien(s)

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2012)

Lots of violence (as expected) and jolting shocks. Many motives are left unexplained or unbelievable. For example, why does the android David give the genetic material to one of the scientists. Why, on the basis of a few brief words from a clearly frantic woman, do three men kill themselves? Amazing how stupid some of the characters are - treating an alien like a cat (and subsequently getting killed by it). It has been 2000 years since the indigenous race all but died off, and the planet is desolate, yet the worm mutants are surviving just fine. I suppose the single surviving scientist flying off to the supposed origin of the human race is meant to allow some sort of sequel. Other questions abound: why does the alien human drink the genetic material in the beginning. Why do these DNA matching aliens look so different from us and how does the one survivor have such muscles after 2000 years of lying in stasis? Profaning the name of Jesus, unfortunately par for the Hollywood course, subtracts even more.
