Then the name of the movie should be, "David". But, it's, "Alien", and they completely ruined the "Alien" by breaking rule number one and robbing it of its mystery and mystique and reducing it to a science project for a robot with issues. And, why is it in these movies we only send morons of the highest order into space? Yes. Let's visit an alien planet and not wear our space suits, because that's smart and we're "courageous" settlers starting a new life....without brains. The ONLY enjoyable thing was watching these characters get knocked off. Nature knows best. Stop "stupid" early. Don't wear your suit on alien world? Here's your sign. Time to go.
It pretty much played out exactly as my worst fears for it thought it would. Dumb, predictable, boring, and nothing remotely resembling frightening. It telegraphed EVERY punch so badly that events were obvious minutes or more before they happened. Just god awful. The only "scary" thing here was that someone green lit this "story". It staggers reason to know people signed off on this mess. So sad. Alien could've been great under proper stewardship. It's dead now. If you go to see, you may as well leave flowers on your way out.
I feel like I need to drive to wherever you are and high five you for this post.

So well said.
