I almost forgot his review, entertaining as always, basically laughing at the stupidity of the movie.

And yeah, CGI is bad, that dog is definitely not real. I guess they are not allowed to beat real animals.

Contains a lot of spoilers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VozE9n3vge0

But if you choose to watch this review you are unlikely to watch the movie.

The conclusion I think is that Ridley Scott is a director long past his prime.

Scott has always been rather inconsistent but if he ever had a prime, it's likely to have been when he made Alien and followed it up with Blade Runner. So that's over 40 years ago. That's a long time to finally come to the conclusion he isn't as good as he used to be.
