Even with low expectations, you will be bored

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2012)

This movie is barely worth a matinée and I would right away recommend waiting for it to come on Netflix or similar. It is unclear if anyone can even write a review containing a spoiler: not only the scenes are very predictable but they make no sense, seem to drop from nowhere and for no purpose and follows no logical order.
Ridley Scott's Alien and the incoming of Prometheus raised expectations so naturally, one may expect reviews affected by the hip going sour. But this is not the case. Even with no expectations, this movie is not well threaded as far as the storyline is concerned and direly suffer from story creativity (the visuals are fine).
You have all read the IMDb storyline so no need to repeat it. How I understand: engineered goo+albino alien= populate the earth with creatures, goo+worm=snake with acid-like blood (why? where does this come from?), goo+human=not sure what but that raging zombie made no sense and did not fit in the story at all, same goo + human having "intimate relation" prior to becoming a raging zombie=woman give birth to a squid, squid in a sterile isolated lab with nothing to eat = spontaneous growth out of nowhere to a giant squid, Albino alien+giant squid= Alien (like in the real deal, the Alien movie). Pfiou! We are glad the non-sense cycle ended here - I feared squid + android would create something even more awfully stupid. Again, no spoiler there. As a good sport, I clicked on 'contains spoiler' but you will all know it will happen next when you see the scene unfold.
This movie fails to create the climax of the first Alien movie. There is no suspense, plenty of screaming for no reasons (not even frightening), scenes with scientist who clearly have no scientific background or training (careless, not knowledgeable, erratic), ... the list is long. This is not the crew of the Nostromo. Did I mention the Albino aliens resembles the ones in John Carter ? (lack of imagination is the extra killer).
The grade of 4 I gave are for: - 2 points for Michael Fassbender (David) and Noomi Rapace (Dr. Shaw) performance. I thought their acting was done well all considering and within their characters. - One point for also for the 3D, I could resisted going leaving the theater before the end - One point for some of the visuals - they were very detailed and quite amazing at times, another disappointment at the end at this movie had great potentials but really no story.
