Underwhelming

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2015)

I'm so sorry I didn't like this movie more. It had long boring stretches, and in one part I actually fell asleep for a couple of minutes. Not a lot happened until the end. We all knew how it would end, we all knew the plot from the advertisements and videos, so this movie just embellished that a bit and filled it out and what you are left with is a very unsatisfying movie for the enormous $COST$ of going to the movies for real these days. Worst of all is the soundtrack. I know this is in the book (so I have read) but the director is in charge, right? Ridley Scott had the power to change the music and he didn't. So what we get along with this somewhat boring movie are several segments where loud, annoying, ancient DISCO MUSIC is played. The worst of the worst. It's not funny, it does not add to the plot, it's just old awful 1970s music. Including "Starman" by Bowie which goes on and on and on and on and even drowns out some of the character dialogue. I was so annoyed by it. Then the ending came, which was good, and the credits start over a nice shot of the Earth, and again starts this horrendous DISCO music from the 1970s. WTF??? Ridley Scott blew it with this movie. It could have been so much better.
