You haven't said anything revelatory since you posted the only postings should be positive comments.

The dude is just trying to piss you off, leave him there and don't reply to him

What were they running from then, smart ass? Correct me next time instead of being a twat.

Hmm an interesting point that I read elsewhere:

You have to wonder if there is a connection when Ridley is involved.

I've read some of the negative reviews (and positive). My take is that when a movie like this gets made, the expectations are going to be REALLY high...people want a classic so to speak (Like Alien). Was it THAT good? No, but how many are? I think this was a very, very solid effort which will set the stage for at least 1 followup and I, for one, am happy about that.

I was at a (real) IMAX in Los Angeles which was sold out for a 10:45am showing on Friday. I predicted, and continue to predict, a very good box office this weekend and some good legs over the next few weeks as there isn't a lot of upcoming competition.

If they were going to rate it "R", a little less clothing would have been in order.....Joe Bob says check it out.....

chris_sc77 · 06-09-2012, 04:50 PM

I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. And that is being generous. I even went in with very low expectations and it still disappointed.
I am a massive Alien fan . Love the first 2 movies. Really like Alien 3. Like Alien 4 until you find out Call is a Robot. then the rest of movie is crap.
But this was just a big letdown. Such a waste of a movie and what the promise of this premise is. This does not fulfill the promise of the ideas it presents in the least.

Oh and dont get me started on the (lack of) score. FIrst four Alien movies have classic scores. This has nothing. Not one memorable note. Ugh.
Also this was one of the tamest big R-rated films I have seen.

More I think about this the more I kinda fill up with hatred about it even though I know it isnt that terrible. Just a big letdown. This is worse than Episode 1 without a doubt.

It was never revealed

And why are you being so hostile, I only offered you a retort, is this going to be one of those films who's going to have those fans.

though, as that would make the final scene of the film completely redundent.

But they did have holes in their chest which suggests Xenomorph.

I'm kinda thinking that's why they weren't shown chasing the Jockeys in the surveillance footage. So the reveal in the last scene would be even more surprising.

It's not a direct tie into Prometheus, and it's not set on the same planet as the one in Alien and Aliens as well.
