Completely disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (6 October 2012)

I can't say I expected very much from the movie, but at least special effects and a normal story, nothing extraordinary. After 15 minutes I was asking myself why I had paid the ticket. The plot is nonexistent, there are just a few hints of ideas but nothing consistent, all along I was asking myself what were the people behind this movie thinking. If it weren't for the special effects and the big budget and the name Ridley Scott this movie would be a B movie. Really, nobody was around to write a better script? You get to a far away planet, you know nothing about it, you just try landing, find a big mountain, just turn left and find aliens? The movie is filled with inconsistencies, no character acts normally, it's all a succession of absurd scenes. I mean everybody who goes to a far away planet thinks there's no need to carry guns, right? I'm against guns, but really... The scene where main character gets the C section .. I could have done without. Then she walks around (like all women who had a C section in the morning) doing some pretty athletic stuff. Oh, and in the end she lies on the ground (exterior temperature is declared - 240 Celsius at the beginning of the movie) and her hand is not even covered by a glove. Two scientists walk around in this strange structure on an alien planet, see this snake-like creature and try and play with it. It's all very common sense I mean. The characters lack definition and motivation. Nobody with an IQ higher than 80 can consider this a good movie. It's complete bullshit.
