Did this fall flat?

Rating: 2/10 (5 December 2015)

I was disappointed! This was not very good.
Why do I say that ?
Charlize Theron fans will be disappointed, because her character was hard to figure out, and she was misused. Her star power was used to bring in movie goers, and not to improve the story. The same can be said for Guy Pierce and Michael Fasbender.
Next, the story was flawed and under explained. There was too much sloppiness and inconsistency. This is the first prequel of one of the best horror trilogies ever, and they choose to come up short? There was no excuse for that.
The other alien movies and the Xenomorph as a race, were ignored too much and not really explained.The race on the foreign planet was an odd fit as well. The exploitation didn't seem to work at all. I wouldn't have known that this was supposed to be the Alien prequel if I wasn't told.
The upside is that the graphics were great and I loved the exploratory ship. The acting was decent to good.
