Voted it fell short for me. Many cons: fakeburster, forced dialogue, James Franco seems out of place (seems miscast to me), and the fat guy with the hat seems like an asshole whose only reason for being on the ship is so that the audience has something to look forward to. None of the characters had any real defining traits and they're all interchangeable.
Also, I'm just going to say it: Katherine Waterston looks like a boy with that stupid short haircut that's too long to be a pixie cut and too short to be a bob, and that triggers me. And I'm glad to see that of the greatest members of the human race, the best ones fit to colonise an entirely new planet includes an alcoholic couple. This prologue was pretty dumb, although I'll give the movie a chance.
Also, what's with the ham-fisted religious symbolism? "Covenant"? "Last Supper"? "Paradise Lost"? Does Scott have some sort of God complex?
