Scott rips off his own quality movie, yet manages a dud.

Rating: 4/10 (8 October 2013)

Although this movie started echoing the "Alien" saga pretty early on, it nonetheless showed some promise based on an interesting premise that has gained some traction recently, namely that a race of giant aliens came to earth(Sumeria)and bio-engineered the populace into what is now modern man. While this may sound like a far-fetched theory it nonetheless may lend itself to a possible explanation of some evolutionary gaps that are known to exist. The movie then takes this imaginative speculation and turns it into a couple of hours of dull sci-fi punctuated by some convincing gory effects in a heavily computer generated environment which is great if you're into that however, some character development and compelling story telling couldn't hurt. Even Charlize Theron can't save this one. At one point another crew member asks her if she is a robot and I'm thinking, c'mon her performance isn't that wooden. This movie was so dull I started watching the Jets-Atlanta game and it was a lot more entertaining.
