>Ok so why do people hate this movie again?
1) It's not an Alien movie. It's marketed and promised as that, but was a bait and switch just to get asses in seats.
2) It's full of empty mystery boxes. It promises a fulfilling adventurous story, presents a lot of intriguing questions, then never answers a thing, not even in the sequel.
3) By itself, it is an unfinished mess. Due to it's false premise of being tied to Alien, it's set on a very boring and bland barren rock planet that's not interesting on screen. A generic group of unmemorable nobodies shows up expecting to find literal God, get depressed because they just found mortal aliens instead, they bumble around and fuck shit up before all dying due to their own faults, then wake up Prometheus who chimps out and kills them for no reason presented by the movie. The audience is left with this takeaway: There was no point to watch this imbecilic trip as it didn't go anywhere. The sequel, which could have made up for the shortfalls of Prometheus, just veers off wildly into its own thing being a basic bitch Ridley Android movie.
