saw it, i liked it.

 

with that premise.

 

Interesting plot/theme but there were quite a few scenes and even characters that were "questionable" as in I had to ask, "what was that for?"

 

I liked it but it was not greatness.

The story was a little busy trying to tie up the original Alien mythology and the "Space Jockey" pilot, and then do this whole origin of life on earth story, and be a monster movie all at the same time. A little much and the whole story became kind of predictable.

What works: evil robot and really goregeous special effects of the ship in flight.

The rest is a decent popcorn movie, but not one that will be a favorite.

 

It seemed Scott tried to kill too many birds with one stone. But then again, I can see a potential for this movie to be one of the most "talked about movies" for years like Blade Runner. Typical Ridley Scott sci-fi movie...multiple interpretations are possible:

That is..."most talked about" until Scott himself "clears things out" years later in the "Director's Cut" with his personal explaining in the "special features"

 

He hasn't ruled out a sequel either...hopefully without Lindelof...

 

Saw it last night. Loved it. Overall plot was awesome. Only a couple of scenes had me scratching my head in terms of their relevance.

 

 

Yeah a lot of things bothered me about this highly anticipated movie, including the "half billion miles" line!

 

It was alright. It wasn't a prequel to Alien. It was a prequel to the prequel to Alien. Needs to be another film to bridge the gap.
