4/10 for the effects and image only

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2012)

Because the rest is just a sorry excuse for this art. It has nothing to do with the aliens series but some forced linking of images now and there, missing the big picture and the answer to the main question : WHY ?
Why are we getting this after 2 years of "brainstorming" and "cooking" ? Why has Charlize Theron agreed to play in this 2nd rate movie ? This is one hell of an example of how a franchise and image cannot substitute neither the NEED of a script, nor the quality of the acting. Frankly, after watching this, I can say that I'm no longer interested in watching any other possible sequel/prequel of this story.
The acting is extremely poor, the sex-oriented remarks/actions representing almost 50% of the available character builds. Then, after some action, with not one strong character yet portrayed, not even at 50%, we get to see some kamikaze heroic behaviour of several members of the crew.
The rate I've put for this movie is yet veeeerrryyy indulging. It stands for 1/10 on scenery, 2/10 on acting, 7/10 for effects and 8/10 for image. But the lack of scenery has such an impact that it actually levels down the whole movie. It then starts to be a hilarious run for cross-connecting visuals from different movies of this series. The problem is that in the end I was neither laughing, nor crying, but only furious on how much my expectancies were deceived.
