Gorgeous production and set design can't elevate a film that's way too much brain and not enough heart, and the brain doesn't have much to say we haven't heard before. As it's own thing it's placid, and as an addition to the Alien universe it makes everything needlessly complicated. But it's pretty to look at, Fassbender is good, and there's a world where Elba and Wong are the stars instead of just buoying the film with their charisma whenever they're on screen.
