Director Ridley Scott has cranked out another one that pretty much follows the formula. A group of space explorers land on a remote planet where lives “guess who?” There are some electric encounters that seem more intense and extended that in the past, but there are also plenty of concentrated dialogue passages (and more emotion). Since the scenario’s a given, it’s up to the filmmakers to offer something new. They didn’t. But this film still plays out with grand visuals and a sprinkling of violent, tense alien encounters.
