In no way was the movie trash but it was definitely disappointing to me. I felt the trailers gave a little too much away and it ended up being somewhat predictable.

I also thought the pacing was off. Slow start.. fine, I expected that but there was a hell of a lot of build for a climax that felt rushed.

With that said, I did like most of the story, the visuals were amazing and there were a couple suspense parts that were very well done..

the emergency surgery scene had me like :ohmy:

no different groups came back to earth. remember that the paintings were found on different parts of earth that dated back to different times. it shows that they were repeatedly visiting us and co-existing with us.

and this points to a duality that there are groups from that species that are politically divided as pro humans (the kinds that visited earth and were shown co-existing peacefully with them in cave paintings) and groups that are against humans (the engineer that was brought out of stasis and wanted to kill every human he saw)

Yeah the girl who played Shaw was damn good. Great cast all the way around except for her husband/boyfriend who I didn't care for...

and apparently David didn't either :russ:

Seriously though, people saying this is trash either A) didn't see it and are trolling or B) wanted more action which I agree with to an extent.. I did think the pacing was a little off but the suspense scenes were great.

It's not trash. It's not a classic. It's in the "solid" range and that's probably a letdown because everyone including myself was expecting something that would blow us the fukk away.

Trailers gave too much too. Way too much.

i dont see him being marooned. in the 2nd hologram, there seems to be multiple galaxaies that had planets with life sustaining capabilites, earth was singled out because thats what david was familiar with.

i'm prolly gonna go see it again in a few hours tho



breh, he knew that ho was preggos, and he planned on putting her in stasis to send her back to earth, unless that was :duck: on his part

Yes, but he did not know that they would have sex and that she would become pregnant at the time when he slipped the goo into Holloway's drink

Yeah, the latest trailers gave away waaayy tooo muuuch

Also, I really understand peoples critiques with the plot, and there was very little suspense with in the film, I also don't like personally how they include the space jockey/engineer in the film. Just seemed very lazy writing to me



I was extremely hyped about this film and was left :why: at the end. Film's solid and I really hope there is going to be a director's cut cause this film leaves a lot to be desired.

Cant belive this is getting negative reviews :comeon:

shyt was an absolute epic. This isnt for the texting in the theater A.D.D. crowd. This is grownups scifi. There's plenty of action though too.

I agree it left lots of questions, but do you want everything tied up in a bow and explained? Even the original alien left us hanging for over 30 years (:damn:) about who the space jockey was.

10/10 for me. Cant wait to see it again :obama:

movie was great but I can see how it's going to divide people

I'd tell anyone to keep their expectations in check because if you're expecting to see Alien ver. 2012 it's not that type of party.

but IMO they are definitely setting the stage for a 'grander' universe in the Alien mythos and this was just the starting point for it.

8/10

Being that this isn't a direct prequel to alien it's not supposed to tie anything up. I have to take options on these boards with a grain of salt. I will be going tomorrow and expect a great flick

That was the biggest ducktales of the movie...anybody that's been opened up like that ain't hopping up and doing shyt. I don't give a fukk how much painkillers you take. I just had the :shaq2: after that. It was great scene though.
