Like a supermodel in a brand-new Ferrari, fun for a spin, but ultimately a regrettable waste of time. Odd to have such a heavy-weight cast, such impeccable special effects, and such a thin, threadbare, and over-used sci-fi trope of a plot.
Recommendation: Watch Alien, Aliens, or Prometheus again instead.
