There was a lot of hype for this movie, and some people have said they loved it. A lot of others are saying it's a total travesty and Ridley Scott needs to retire immediately.
So is it worth seeing? Are there any other overhyped movies I should or shouldn't avoid?

The visuals were amazing, and Noomi is gorgeous in the movie. There are also several interesting throwbacks to the Alien series, especially considering that Noomi's hair is even styled the same as Sigourney's was in the originals. But the story and its character development is severely lacking. The motivation for the characters' decisions are very odd, some of the dialog is cheap, and the plot drags on. It's not bad, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype.
