This movie still disappoints me. It could have been so much better. The characters were shallow attempts at best. Ripley is such an amazing character in the original series. It felt like watching Lost, where there ultimately was no coherent attempt at anything real. Just the creation of strange occurrences to initiate speculation to questions that could not be logically answered (especially with the minor amount of detail given to the audience).

It was also a complete waste of Idris Elba, which is a terrible sin in and of itself.
