All looks, no brains.

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2017)

Lets just get the positives about this film out of the way first. It looks incredible, no complaints about the films look, tone, aesthetic, production design, all are wins here. The first half hour had me confident I was watching the film I had been waiting years to see. Then it all explodes into an avalanche of nonsense. The problem is with the script, almost every character acts against their own self interest. To not spoil anything I won't go into detail, but was constantly asking myself what is the motivation for any of this? From the moment they arrive on the planet to the films face palming idiotic ending, you just want to yell at the characters for being so stupid.
The trailer was so incredible I would have sold rights to first born just to watch it. I hope Alien Covenant is better...How sad.
