sci-fi excellence.

Rating: 6/10 (13 October 2016)

It starts with people who find cave drawings showing some dude pointing to stars that look like a recognizable constellation, so a nice (rich) Weyland funding them with a really cute spaceship that looks like a turtle but obviously has the ability to go so fast.
After only two years they are ...somewhere and land and hop in the hummer-like thing and zip off across the desert to something that looks unnatural. All sorts of weird and wonderful adventures ensue.
You need to suspend all aspects of reality and a lot of common sense, but if you do, it comes across as a reasonably entertaining tale. The acting is OK, and the production, (special effects etc) is impressive, especially that talking head!!
