An overwhelming feeling of, 'Meh'

It was beautiful...had a lot of atmospheric things going on...but I can't say it was a good or bad movie...it just is. I guess my biggest issue is it doesn't quite fit into the Alien universe. It's like a puzzle piece that looks like it should fit, but doesn't quite line up. 1. Space Jockey/Engineer too small. In "Alien" the Space Jockey is HUGE...even if you say the mechanism that he sits in gives more bulk...it doesn't give THAT much more bulk. From the first movie the size of the Alien in relation to the crew makes it seem like it's at least the size of the Na'vi (15-20 feet)In this movie he looks to be barely cracking 10 feet. 2.So, did the Space Jockey after having a Deacon Xenomorph explode from his chest, walk (crawl) back over to the wrecked spaceship, sit in the "captain's/navigator" chair, rip open the suit to match the hole in his chest? And if not...which Space Jockey is in the chair when the Nostromo crew happen across the same spaceship? As for some inconsistencies and questions.... 1. How is the "Goo of Life and Death" is able to seep out of the jars? As I recall, David opened one of the jars and had to snap open the glass bottle to extract the Goo, that he poisoned the Douchebag Boyfriend's drink with. Why is it later the Goo is seeping out everywhere...did the glass degrade? Can the GOLAD change the cell structure of an inanimate object like glass? I thought it could only reprogram living structures? 2. I'm going to be generous and say that a person who studies ancient cultures might also have time to have a bio-medical/doctor's degree...but if you are well versed in a lab dealing with biological life forms, known or in this case unknown, wouldn't you use masks or gloves when handling said unknown forms? Maybe you don't care about your safety, but what about your possible contamination of the material you're handling? The Ending... 1. You awaken one of the "Creators of Life" who then proceeds to take everyone's life,like an angry parent shouting, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it". You escape it's wrath, not once but twice. You then decide you're going to fly to a planet filled with said creatures to ask them, "why?" 2. Ignoring the fact of being able to fly an alien ancient space craft with the ease of riding a bike, what about stasis?..while our DNA is a match it's obviously not an exact match (despite the markers matching in the graphic)..otherwise the experiment in the lab wouldn't have gone horribly wrong...also the size of the beings are different. So,that means no cryo sleep for Elizabeth...then what shall she eat or drink for the years or (being generous) months of space travel? 3. Along those lines, let's say the robot can rig up the cryo sleep to accommodate one human woman...who rigged up the robot? I mean along with the bio-medical/anthropologist degree did she also pick up a degree in synthetic bio-mechanical engineering as well? I'm sure I could talk about other things that honestly can be explained away with three words, "horror movie contrivance" The reason people are talking about stupid behaviors of the characters is because it is expected of a typical slasher movie...which is something the Alien's universe has never been, until now. In the first Alien, the folks did stupid things in that movie because they were just simply miners...out doing a job...they were caught unaware... Aliens...they were grunt military types, just following orders and not taking the time to ask questions. Aliens 3 castoffs no one cared about anymore given they were considered irredeemable by society, thus no one cared if they lived or died. Aliens 4 I'll just leave that one out of the discussion. AVP and AVP2...once again...no comment. This one...everyone is too smart for their own good they're scientists, obviously multiple degrees (especially in the case of Elizabeth) and yet,they're making rookie mistakes that only work in a movie filled with half wits. I half expected Freddy or Jason to make an appearance. But like I said, it kinda fits, but not quite....and he does make a beautiful looking movie...I was never bored watching it...but I just wasn't excited either. Maybe I would've liked the ending more if Elizabeth was going to take a cargo hold of GOLAD back to the Space Jockey's home planet, versus going to ask, "Why don't you like us?"
