Boring could still be a compliment to this useless crap of a series.
I expected more from Ridley Scott, especially after his Prometheus inception, but what I expected was to see more of a story about the "Engineers" of the prequel to the "Alien" franchise.
Instead, what I received was a preachy piece of android "educators" with some rebellious kids and a bunch of Viking style religious fanatics, and of course, also a lot of Yada-yada-yada blabber (dialogue as sterile as the two main characters, mainly "Father" and "Mother").
The action is so slow that one could easily take a nap before he sees something interesting happening.
Visual effects are dreadful and even the SFX are not what I would call "exceptional".
And music?... What music? Lots of so called "alien-ating" noise, nothing more.
I don't know how much the production did cost, nor do I want to know, since this shouldn't be the concern of an audience.
And said that, I have seen much cheaper productions which were galactically better conceived and indeed entertaining.
This can just be ignored, since it appears to be a personal account by Ridley Scott about his own frustrations and it doesn't add anything to the Alien saga.
Quite the contrary. It diminishes it to a jumbled effort of brainy concepts that any intelligent being can have witnessed and understood in his movies.
Sorry Ridley, you have to do better than that if you want to impress someone like me.
