Saw it today in 2D

I thought the acting was good, the sets were good, and the CGI was well
integrated into the whole.

The story is full of holes, inconsistencies, and some just plain
stupidities.

Shaw running amok after major surgery to remove to alien from her?

Prometheus ramming the alien ship to prevent it from leaving the planet?
Doesn't prometheus have any weapons systems it could use?

Old man Weyland coming along for the trip? Very weak and very dumb.

David slipping an android in a drink to Shaw's boyfriend?

There's just too many things about the story that do not make sense.
That was never the case with Alien or Aliens. The above a just a few.
I like my movies to be believable within their frame of reference.
This one was not.

Overall I will give it a 75/100. And I'll probably see it a 2nd time.
It held my attention. But it's certainly in the same class as the first
two films in the series.

As an aside: I've not been in a movie theatre in 5 years, and was quite
appalled by the amount of advertising. I don't like to pay to have people
try to sell me products I neither want nor need. I was also appalled by
the 6 trailers for coming movies - aside from one about a pilot who lands
a crippled plane with alcohol in his system, the coming summer movie fare
looks like complete dreck.
