bad bad bad

Rating: 3/10 (25 September 2012)

This is one of the worst movies I've seen recently. I had some hopes and expectations when I went to the cinema to see this movie. I read that this was going to be an Alien prequel, but just now I found out that this isn't true. This is just a movie that take place in the same universe as Alien. But how we can get it? Even if it was a prequel, we can't define it in that way. This movie IS ALIEN, it almost the same movie, but very very bad done. Throw the mystique away, the tension, the atmosphere and the acting from Alien... and you have a movie like this. It's like a bad remake.
Leaving the cinema I thought "My God, this is Alien, but without Aliens except the Alien in the last scene that was there just to say to you that this movie is connected to Alien". So, I went to the cinema hoping to have some new informations on this Aliens. But I haven't, and this could be acceptable, but this movie doesn't explain itself, it's nonsense.
The movie began with this humanoid, drinking something just to die 10 second later. And from the following scenes, it's seems as like a new life form were born from the DNA of that creature. Life on Earth. It was great and interesting. But it was it. A scene that don't have much sense with the rest the movie. Then, some people find these messages, paintings and things like this, that point to a some place far away in the universe. So an old man put money in the project to reach this planet.
One of the greatest moments of the movie? Our future mother scientist decides that she wants to take of herself the thing she has inside because it isn't human. So she goes to the rescue suite where there is this great futuristic medical capsule. But when she asks to an abortion procedure, the machine say that it's impossible 'cause it's calibrate on men. The thing make perfectly sense... in a ship with some women, there's a great, expensive and rare machine that don't support female procedures, and it makes even more sense 'cause it was in the head mission emergency suite, that is a woman. But... she than choose for an abdominal procedure for extract external objects. She jump into the capsule and the procedure began, obviously... a machine like that don't support even an anesthesia. WHY?... so she gets opened and the thing was extracted and she pulls out the umbilical cord with a roughness that it was strange not to seeing some bowels. Then, another magic by the medical machine. The suturing... it was like close a wound with a stapler. I can't wait to see this future...
Scientists that throw away helmets because they know that there is oxygen in the air. People that play with amputated heads without gloves or procedures. People that run around a second after their body was cut in two, and super machines that don't know what is a woman, what is an anesthesia, and that do sutures with staples. People that go out the ship without some pieces of the suit even if they cannot breath. Drones that fall in love but are hated by the humans.
I explained this movie to me like that: we are born just 'cause something was drunk and fell in the water. Then the other members of the race of this guys, found out what idiots we are so they decided to destroy us. But they were so powerful that would not have been fun to destroy us just attacking us, so they create this biological weapon that they can't control and that destroy them. But we found them and we want to talk to them but we treat drones, that we had created, like s**t, so this drone wants revenge by killing us. No, it doesn't make any sense... just like this movie.
The screenplay it's like it was written by a 10 years old boy. The dialogs were horrible (but I give the benefit of the doubt... maybe was just the Italian version)... I liked Theron, she's always a good actress, but her character was one of the most insignificant of the movie. I liked Fassbender too, even if his character was a living contradiction. All the characters were stupid and without any background or depth. Random interesting scenes without connection or sense in the movie, they are just there, occupying the 10 seconds of the film they're printed on.
Horrible.
