I hated the characters & their dialogue, most of which was horrible... so this trillion dollar corporation just sent up a bunch of slapdicks that didnt know each other & act like a bunch of ****in tourists? they were acting like the people from jurassic park or something, just terrible characters & dialogue, too much of it also seemed like a straight up rehash of Aliens. The scene where they roll out of the ship for the first time, lol, they just take off at 50mph like some kind of race... he really did a shit job of portraying these people as credible scientists & the like.

The alien astronauts? wtf? i dont even know where to begin, none of it made any sense at all, nor was it explained, so i wont try to do it either. So yeah its some kind of weaponized crap they made, for what purpose & motive only ridley knows... he also really aped 2001 in several scenes, trying to evoke the same mood with certain shots & music.

This movie sucked balls, right up there with gigantomongous & profoundly empty Avatar, all cool effects & nothing else. I was really expecting some kind of deep meaning to it all, cutting edge, thought provoking sci-fi... boy was i in for a surprise, sooo glad i didnt waste $8 plus snacks on this piece of junk. Ridley Scott should be ashamed, probably his worst movie ever.

I personally loved the movie...but to each his own...maybe this helps you understand??
