sorry guys it sucked (spoilers-inside)

Wow guys. Read my username and believe it. I might have given the film say a 5 out of 10 if it had nothing to do with the first film. But it did. It was a prequel. You owe something when you make a prequel. You owe it to the fans to at least make it so the first movie Alien could have happened. Lets just list problems here.... Big white mr. clean eats genetic crap and dies at the beginning...why? So, after all the coolness of "where did this strange skeleton looking pilot in the first movie come from"....the answer is....It's not that strange of a race at all....in fact the cool skeleton is nothing but a space suit?.....and has inside it a giant man....not a cool creature of some kind....a man goodness sake....only big and bald like mr. Clean...whatever. Why would mr. clean create a race of humans on earth just to destroy them...and if so why would he visit earth about 6 different times through the ages just to say high and then later...right when this movie is going on....decide right then he needs to juice up the "derelict spaceship" and destroy the earth.... Not that this is really a derelict spaceship anymore....see, it has good company....in fact conveniently there are many of them just lying around all over this planet...so at the end....after they've destroyed the first derelict spaceship....the heroine can take off in it and do .....what?..... Oh ya, she wants to find out why the big mr. clean wanted to destroy her planet...way to go answering those important questions....not even the cast knows whats going on....anyway..... so if mr. clean eats black genetic ooze crap, he just disenegrates like at the beginning...but if another human eats it....say an annoying drunk guy who just knocked up his girlfriend....that guy grows a big head and starts jumping around like a super chimp idiot? Now then...I should mention that the 2 guys most scared of doing anything in this whole movie decide to hang out in a room full of giant snake creatures and then poke at them? Can anyone guess what happens....if you guessed death....you'd be....bored like me...... Oh by the way....I spoke earlier of the strange pilot in the chair from the first movie...I guess we can disregard that actually because in this movie it ends with all the possible pilots dead somewhere else. The one giant mr. clean pilot that got impregnated with an alien didn't die on the chair....he died in like a human escape pod....by like exploding or something....and giving birth to.... Something that I guess was an alien but didn't have the metal jaws so that was lame....and also that was the only live creature left on the whole planet (other than boring cg giant worms)....so how in the world when you get to the movie "Alien" do all these alien eggs even exist..... And what ever set off the "warning beacon" that the crew in Alien homed in on? Surely not the heroine at the end of this movie. She's off flying around in space....flying an alien spacecraft by the way via instructions from a severed android head. Man she must be some kind of piolot....even for a scientist with no pilot skills. By the way...I know there were trying to gross us out by having an automated medical bay open up a lady and drag out a squid, but come on....that scene was ridiculous and like this chick could just pump herself with a couple of sedative shots and run around diving over falling crap with 15 staples holding her stomach together. By the way...I want to make it very very very clear that I in know way thought the evil old guy behind this whole operation could possibly be alive....or that his motives might be trying to meet his maker to extend his life....I never thought that would happen....it wasn't cliched.....not cliched at all.....yawn. By the way....if mr. clean was waiting for us humans to become technologically advanced enough to come visit him, why would he wake up out of deep freeze like a grouch and try to kill everyone he sees? Wouldn't he be pleased instead. Oh wait....I forgot they needed a "plot turn"....oooooo......plot turn.....scary mr. cleans on the rampage.......oooooo...... By the way, my wife thinks they were trying to say that the black ooze dripped out onto some small worms on the ground and then they grew and became the big CG snakes....but if that was the filmmaker's intention it was vague and I didn't get that until she pointed it out to me....either way....CG WORMS don't push the envelope. So they wanted to give us some back story I guess as to what happened with this derelict spacecraft....and so they do it by making the token evil android ....and I do mean token at this point because there's one in like every alien film.....the "token evil android" happens to decipher languages so well that he can pretty much instantly figure out how do do things like play this complicated foreign spaceship's holographic video logs.....(yes I know, planted only for stupid 3D effect but anyway).....and then these video logs go on and....they just show dudes dying but nothing before that??? Like they can't press rewind on the holographic logs?.....just rewind it back a bit further and maybe you'll get some more info you know.....and then that might be able to explain why this next thing happened..... like there's a pile of big mr. cleans all dead ad huddled over with holes in their chests like an alien exploded out of them....so where are all these aliens?....they weren't in the holographic tapes....mr. cleans just ran around a bunch and huddled in fear with that.....and there's no aliens running around anywhere now......so what, they all maybe got bored and flew off in these many many many derelict space crafts that apparently were scattered all over the planet?.....man oh man..... OK.....there's plenty of other things, but I've wasted enough time just watching this movie so....... Side annoyances are... Oh I saw this in 2D because 3D is nothing but a distracting jazz gimick....but that didn't keep me from having to endure the WOW and PIZAZ scenes so obviously planted just so they could try and do .....33333333 DDDDDDD......wow!....3333333 DDDDDDD......a new invention....just out today.....not back in the 60's.....man, don't get me started. They touted this movie like it was a "scary film", with a similar feeling to the first film.....uh.....sorry guys.....no..... Movie was slow going with lame payoffs when they happened. wow, the technology sure looks pretty good considering 30 years later there practically holding their ships together with duck tape. great cast of actors used to drool 3rd rate rag doll lines. The cool tunnels obviously "created" by the aliens near their nests I guess were never created by them but these big white mr. cleans because those tunnels are everywhere in this movie and there's no aliens until the very end. And there was only 1 alien....so I guess he's a really hard worker. dialogue campy and cliched characters campy, stupid and cliched Guy pearce old man makeup was fake looking as all get out Anyway. Like I said I could go on for hours. The plot holes were many the general little annoyances were many. The movie sucked guys. If you are smart enough to know that there are really only 2 good alien movies.....which are ALIEN and ALIENS.....then you'll be smart enough to know not to see this heap of trash. It's certainly no better than the lame Alien 3 and really isn't much better than Alien resurrection. This film in my opinion is quite possibly the biggest failure in the franchise for what it was trying to do. And what it was trying to do was explain to the Alien fans where all of this came from. The explanations are lame at best. The methods of explanation are poor as well. For anyone who is a real fan of the original Alien, this film doesn't feel or achieve anything like it. The more intriguing you found the original film, the more disappointed you will be with the answers you get from this film....which really aren't many anyway....because like I said....the ending didn't even clear Prometheus up. Sorry Ridley, You completely missed the target
