Review title: muddled and weak....
Product review: As a fan of all of the "Alien" franchise, I am probably a bit generous with my review. I enjoy most of the films that R. Scott makes as well.BUTThe weakness here is glaring. The plot does not make much sense, especially in the context of the trilogy. The movie begins as a tense thriller, but quickly devolves into something else entirely. There is a heavy dose of moralistic pontificating (which never works in movies like this). Scott was successful when he did this in Blackhawk Down, but it does not fit here. The characters are barely likeable and they share no chemistry. And after all of those issues, it is the plot that kills the show.The only good about this movie comes from the great visuals and sound. I did manage to watch it all the way through and only yawned twice and stepped out for a refrigerator break once. And I really, really, really wanted to like this movie....if only to atone for the terrible "Aliens Resurrection" movie that killed the franchise!
