Not much to say

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2012)

Bunch of misfit scientists get their facts from sort of cosmic Wikipedia; they sail across the stars to meet our creators, hover around a bit on a planet delivering GoogleEarth-like panoramic views to finally find out they are merely involved in a pest-control delivery plan gone wrong. Really: there's nothing more to say. Unfortunately this is the kind of film where a high budget and actors' popularity are supposed to supply for lack of ideas and plot believability. Not that the original Alien excelled in originality but, at least, it was believable (context, characters, technology); moreover, it was such a viewing experience, for the time, that it should have deterred any further use of the franchise. It didn't. BTW: did you know that we still be using fruity tablet computers in 2094?
