one of the worst movies i have seen this year.. story all over the place nothing was explained. for those that think alien wasn't an action movie it was a thriller >>> the same as this one. the thing is thaugh is this movie was neither ... not thrilling and no much action. weak story line and prodictable characters. people walked out of the movie with not even a joyful expression of enjoying the movie. only reason i stayed was because i thought maybe something would be cleared up and not just empty dialogue with no real substance. i got out of there and had to see a good movie went to see avengers in 3d million of times better.
this movie was made to make you think as well as be entertained.this is for hardcore sci fi fans only! ridley scott has left more questions which is making people discuss more possible answers.he knows what he's doing & he's leaving more strong possibilities for another sequel.not worth shelling out extra coin for 3d though,you can admire it's beauty without the glasses.
you have to remember this movie wasn't intended to be an action movie like "aliens".this is a science fiction movie...scott said it would be differen't.i understand the frustration with people but if you wanted effects,meaningless story,then watch "battleship".the story was a bit frustrating to follow but it leaves the un answered questions to be answered in a sequel.scott already did a "monster" movie & wanted to go left on this,it's not easy coming up with something totally original to blow people away with,the man is still a genius but he should hire better writer's next time.
ridley scott is the best. this prequel does complete the movie alien but opens up too many possiblities in regards to further prequel's. the theme of space travel becoming more commerialized is currently happening in reality so be sure when you go you know who is in charge.
bad script along with acting and directing, hope the blu-ray version has extended cut otherwise...forget about it.
really enjoyed it. can't wait for the next one.
had a chance for great movie but ended up just ok. more of a horror movie then si-fi. most of movie was taken up by writters setting up for next segment ?
once again, a great-looking movie that doesn't have an original bone in its story! c'mon hollywood, hire some writers!! it's a shame that ridley scott's talents were wasted. here is what i saw: 10% alien, 10% mission to mars, 10% contact, 10% indiana jones part 4, 10% the fly, 10% the abyss...you get the idea. the only thing i didn't see was some percentage of originality!! grrr!!! go watch it for something pretty to look at, but not much else. did anyone else find the soundtrack distracting?
this movie is so awesome, it's retarded!
another summer movie that fails to live up to the hype.
