[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 9442840, member: 710"] The last 15 minutes it really felt like they wanted too much. I would have been fine with a bit of alien: redux and sequel bait rather than super-fast alien life cycle here. But the movie does really takes and uses its time well to introduce the world and the characters, set the stakes, and has a few neat character ideas. Also, maybe have a bit less acid mist to navigate through to actualy make it look plausible but risky, not just plain impossible (when it isn't). [SPOILER="End Plot"] The Engineer-Alien thing just seems to grow out of thin air within a few minutes. That really just doesn't feel plausible. I guess without it however, they just have the basic plot of the original Alien without really adding new "mythology", so I guess they went for this. I would have probably gone for the risky sequel bait approach which probably a lot of people would also hate, so it's hardly a genius perfect idea. Have them get back on the ship, maybe some last fight, and the mother looks healthy and good. The mother gets into the cryo-chamber first, Rain tells Andy to do what's good for all of them (I don't know what the exact wording was in English, this time I watched it in German, but I would keep it ambigious whether it means only the two of them, or everyone aboard the ship). And then have her go to cryo-sleep, and then have Andy look at some cryo-scan and have some alienesque feature visible on the baby in the womb. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
