What?

Rating: 5/10 (8 June 2012)

Dear Mr Scott. Would you kindly return the 2 hours of my life that you 'stole' from me on Monday. 'A team fights terrifying battle to save the future of the human race', really? I must have slept through that bit. No wonder Ridley Scott has said that this is not a prequel to Alien. That would explain the continuity errors between the ending of this festering pile of dung and the beginning of the far superior Alien. The first hour of this film is a long yawn the second is a long disappointment. If you're going to make a prequel then do it correctly. If you state it is not a prequel then come up with an original idea, don't just pilfer bits and pieces from an earlier piece of work. Also, if you're going to release a film in 3D, then make an effort to shoot it in 3D. Don't just add a half arsed 3D makeover just so we can get ripped off at the cinema by being made to spend a couple of quid more than the 2D films. Really Ridley, go and sit in a darkened room and re-think your life.
