No character development.

Rating: 5/10 (30 May 2012)

This movie tries to tell a bigger story than Alien. You can say that Alien is just a small action spin off.
The movie raises big questions about existence and where we come from. So on paper it sounds good but ultimately I didn't like the movie. It just left me cold. I think it was poorly executed and I didn't care about any of the characters and there wasn't much character development.
This shows that just having a great idea/story doesn't make a great movie. You have to create interesting characters that make you care about them. So for me the movie ultimately fails even if it has an interesting idea.
The only interesting part for me was David's motivations for his actions (played by Michael Fassbender).
