An Honest Review

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2019)

What? Seriously...WHAT?!
I don't understand what I watched.
Alien was a monster movie in space. It was a great movie, it was scary and you could taste the tension....but it was just a monster movie in outer space. It was really just a merger of horror and science fiction.
Aliens was a fun movie. But it was just Space Marines v Monsters. It was just a merger of action and science fiction.
We can go on and on and on but, I think Scott is buying the fanboys that are reading too deeply into the Alien franchise. It's not "The Last Temptation of Christ" it's just the Alien movies.
Prometheus was just too much for the franchise, FAR TOO MUCH. Watching it felt like that moment when you realize that the top came off of the salt shaker and now you're going to have to just bare threw the mess bite by bite.
There was so much that, in the end, there wasn't really anything at all. Everything that was good about Alien and Aliens was totally forgotten here and you were left with, well, pretentious ramblings.
This is a monster movie that thinks it's "Taxi Driver." It's putting on airs and you can see straight through it.
