Storyline

This film is set in 2093 and takes place in the same universe as the 'Alien' movies. A group of explorers, including some archaeologists, are on an "undisclosed" mission. They arrive at a planet trillions of miles away from Earth. The team spot what they believe to be signs of civilization. They go to investigate and find more than just signs, they find conclusive evidence. But some of them have an ulterior motive for being there, including the Weyland Corporation. They believe that this is where the human race actually came from. Things soon turn from excitement to survival once inside their discovery. Written by Michael Hallows Eve

Did not not live up to expectations
25 June 2012 | by (Tunbridge Wells UK) – See all my reviews

I have just come back from watching this and it did not live up to the expectations.

Let me start of by saying the best bits of the film are in the trailers out there.

It starts off so slow which is about 75% of the film and it is predictable from the off set.

The storyline is something that was just thrown together in heartbeat to satisfy the tons of people out there asking that all important question (How did or where did that Ship/Alien in the chair come from).

They failed to deliver a good story for fans of the Alien Franchise I rank this in the same category AVP.

Its time for the Alien franchise to be put to bed if this is all we are going to get from now on.
