Since I was a kid an curled up on the couch with dad watching Alien I’ve always loved the series, well mostly loved the series. Okay, I really liked the beginning of the series (read: first two movies) it seemed to go downhill from there. In this prequel we see a journey to find the alien ‘engineers’ in the 2090’s based on maps found in ancient earth caves throughout the world. A bit hard to swallow but okay.

Then they get there and decide to go exploring first thing, I was a bit shocked at how easily these folks remove their helmets, but they do. A storm comes, people get separated and general carnage ensues. While it sort of may look like a setup to Aliens there seems to be something missing, it doesn’t seem to set it up correctly. And I find the Fassbender extremely annoying but maybe that’s me. I’ll give it 2.5 out of 5 because I’m feeling generous.
