The plot is basically a rehash of Alien with a bit of 2001: A Space Odyssey mixed in.

The characters are poorly written. Aside from being underdeveloped, they sometimes make baffling decisions. David the android is perhaps the most interesting character, musing philosophically about his own synthetic nature as his human creators now seek to meet their own creators. But everyone else merely exists to gawk and HR Giger's latest set pieces before getting horribly killed by them.

Those set pieces, by the way, are very nice. It's the most visually interesting film in the entire Alien series, and this should be your main reason for seeing the movie. Otherwise, you'll leave the theater disappointed.

3/5
