"Spare me the bulls**t, I had my psychic valuation..." - Ellen Ripley "Aliens"
Obviously one could use some of Ripley's psychic treatment after watching this empty can to movie, a treatment to laborious erase everything you just watched. Imagine someone who put the hell of a budget to send a bunch of folks out into the deep space, to hunt down our "creators", some billion clicks away from our planet. Now consider further that those folks are the top notch of the best in our science society. Basically what's then is presented before us is a guy who's first choice of dialog is: "I'm not here to be your friend, Im here to earn money". With that said, this is what the whole movie is all about - making money, and alienate itself from the audience.
"Lets talk about our bonus situation..." - Parker, "Alien"
There are nothing to this movie that ever could make it memorable as the Alien back in 1979. The "situation" is just that; a completely flat story, seemingly forced-made to what Hollywood regards as "a fully acceptable edge-breaking cinematic 'go-with-the-flow' artwork." With other words, screw the actors, screw the script, screw the logic, here shall be some action and CGI effects, and let's cash in, amen!
"Move it Spunkmeyer, we are rolling..." -Cpl. Ferro, "Aliens"
So lets point out some of the incredible stupidities this flick will entertain us with:

People with assign with titles they certainly don't live up to, or have earned in legal ways.

An Android, that show emotions well before its successors, something that Bishop and Ash couldn't.

People doing unbelievable things such as getting drunk for no reasons, removing helmets in an alien environment, a geologist who doesn't give a crap in his surroundings and getting scared over some fossilized alien corpses. Same guy getting charge over the teams orientation and then gets lost himself along with the guy he didn't want to become friend with. As if Lindelof really suffered from severe brain hemorrhage, they seem to court up quite well when stranded inside that beehive looking structure, and the rest of the team - without the map - does find their way out and back to the ship!

People having intimate sex, something that is absent in the whole Alien/vs. Predator series.

David, our beloved humanoid, put some black mess in a crews drink, a poor effort from the director's side to illustrate the androids curiosity.

"I don't know, but thats what I choose to believe". For F**k sake!

A spaceship that instead of blasting its enemies with some cool laser beams, rolls over the victim.

In order to do next episode of Prometheus, Shaw is forced to visit the Engineers home world, instead of taking the alien ship back to earth and share the engineer's technology with the humanity.

They land on the wrong planet. The 1979 Alien took place on LV-426, assuming Shaw's radio signal was the signal Nostromo received years later.

"I'd say, we take off and nuke the whole place from the space..." - Ripley, Aliens
Our conclusions are not very positive at all. This is what happens when one brings in "unknown elements" into a well established environment such as the Alien universe. Lindelöf and his evil team jumps into something and starts to "change" elements, dressing the whole movie into a stereotypic carnival, without any respect for the other Alien movies and their aura they indeed had, even if the third and fourth episode could have been undone. And here he comes, with the stereotypic clinches involving characters with no deeper layers of personality, nor realistic behavior or dialogs. Adding more CGI, let it numb the audience because all the money WILL be spent on the cgi team. And we gotta have some sexual interactions as well, just because all other movies made after 2000 has it. You know, just for the sake of it.
Flat, meaningless, a touch of the tastelessness, almost on the verge to an abomination, regarding the Alien franchise, I felt the whole plot was made for those who enjoying an everyday mediocre sci-fi flick presented by BBC or Discovery Channel.
No thank you, maybe David should have put some black mess Lindelof's drink, the alien then will teach him some respect for destroying a masterpiece without any afterthoughts, and Ridley you... How could you?
