Well Idris Alba should of had a lot more screen time some how, he is that good. Guy Pierce is an obnoxious jerk, he got what he deserved. Neomi Makepeace was a nice distraction. Charlene Theron was her usual great self. Fassbender was exceptional as David. Story was plausible. But had many stupid human mistakes. Taking helmets off. Not taking security to the dome at the beginning. Why do you open the cargo bay door without checking what's sitting outside. Stuff like that. I guess it helps the story. You need stupid humans. Alba's crew is top notice. They work together great. Unlike the landing crew that doesn't.

This film has much to recommend it for. Visually excellent, as is to be expected. The film nicely fleshes out some elements left obscure from the beginning of the Alien saga, and adds a new direction and dimension of urgency, the "Creators". It feels fresh by not merely adding complications to the end of the saga, as a sequel might, and has done in Resurrection. That said, the film has serious problems. The characters are mostly unconvincing and out of place. The crew of scientists chosen for this important and ambitious mission seem to be far from the cream of the crop, rather like a bunch of immature, irresponsible bungling idiots with behavioral problems. Other crew also show a relaxed attitude to the mission that seems out of place. The plot is somewhat ludicrous. The crew recklessly, repeatedly and consistently ignore the very obvious signs of biohazard, in a rushed approach that is driven by no apparent reason or urgency. What should be serious characters repeatedly skirt discussion of their situation, and rather wander blindly - repeatedly at that - into a threatening situation. Contrast that with the first Alien film, where a crew that should be of a considerably lower caliber carefully appraise their situation before acting. Elizabeth's feats in her medical condition seem unlikely, to say the least. Some characters have problems with motivation, especially David, although that might be resolved in a sequel. Nevertheless, a film worthy of repeated viewing - use local anesthesia for the problematic parts.

Yes, the plot has holes. Yes, they do act a bit stupid. But the thing is that we viewers all know that there's going to be death. Lots of death.Meanwhile the characters are supposed to be scientists and what not. So yeah it makes sense that they're not holding hands and throwing grenades into every dark corner (imagine how exciting that kind of movie would have been btw).And yes, scientists does stupid shit too, especially outside their field of expertize. :pAll in all I think this movie could have benefit from longer running time. Some of the scenes felt too short.Nice scenery.Interesting story even though it could have been done better if someone had checked for plot holes beforehand. Noomi and Fassbender carried it.
