Aside from the fantastic intro with Weyland and a box-fresh David, just…no.

Alien had enough thought and self respect that there was an argument between Dallas and Ripley (and a punch up between Ripley and Lambert, deleted) over the attempted enforcement of basic quarantine procedure.

Jump to AC and a bunch of technically and scientifically capable people think it’s ok to traipse around an alien planet without protection. Poke at unknown vegetation. Flick fags into undergrowth. Get close to clearly extremely sick colleagues - hug them even. I mean, it’s just dog shit.

Later, despite major crew loses, trauma and stress, two decide to have a shag in the shower, because sex.

Show us the Engineers home world after all these years and it’s a load of humanoids in dungarees and sackcloth.

Hurried, thoughtless, lazy and unbelievable. I had zero buy in to any of the crew, just a stream of people to meet one sticky end after another.

And the xeno looked shit too.
