I think it's a fairly good sequel to Prometheus. And it's sensible for the old Ridley to explore the "creation" stuffs. I would be surprised if he makes a new alien movie with similar tone to the older ones.

I bet Ridley is a totally different person now. Also, keep in mind that this is not meant to be like the previous alien movies. However, the ending succeeds in opening up to more stories, which is good. It's true that they throw lots of (probably too many) elements into this movie, which might turn out to be less exciting. So don't avoid it just because people say they hate it. To be fair, lots of good horror movies are barely above 6 out of ten. If you have seen lots of harsh criticism for this movie, I say it's not bad at all.

I think people have too high expectation to new movies of famous franchises, and when it doesn't come to their expectation, they just freak out and start giving one out of ten.
