[QUOTE="Joker, post: 5931452, member: 826"] Spoilers ahead. I enjoyed this movie but not for the reasons I thought I would. I understood, going into it, that it wasn't going to be an 'Alien' movie. It was an adventure dealing with the origin of our species and of the aliens we see in earlier films. But with all the connections made with other films I couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed at how some things were done. I tend to ramble so I'll make a list of things I liked and didn't like. Dislikes - It's too bright. There aren't any shadows, no places that set the brain on edge. This is probably a holdover from a thinking that this was an Alien movie. - Too predictable. I usually don't care too much if a movie follows the formula but some things were just too obvious. The reason why this is bad for me is because there's hardly a reaction when the thing happens that you know was gonna happen, even with the musical cue. - The score had a few good parts but the Star Trekky motif (tell me if I'm using that word wrong) felt completely out of place at any point Leonard Nemoy or Patrick Stewart could have started narrating. - Didn't like Shaw's boyfriend, Charlie Holloway. Something rubs me the wrong way when he says his lines. - The Space Jockey is a dick. He is. He's a complete jerk. Here he is, saved from slow death by the visitors. So he smiles and kills everything around him. Of course, these lab rats that call themselves human may not even be a blip on his radar but after having come all this way to find answers I was hoping for a little more closure than an alien rampage. Likes: - Performances were outstanding with a special tip of the hat to Noomi Rapace and Micheal Fassbender. Fassy, in particular, was completely awesome. Disturbing and methodical. - Everything looked really cool. From the Space Jockey's to the ship design and all the other tech like the holograms. It looked cool and seemed functional. - Beautiful environment. I really liked how the movie sets up for a sequel. It makes you wonder what these weapons were made for and if we humans were made as weapons or as test subjects. It makes you wonder who their enemy was/is. The predators? Maybe. This was hands down a better film than Alien 3, 4, and all the Aliens vs. Predator films. But it wasn't better than Alien or Aliens. A solid eight out of ten. [/QUOTE]
