It’s pretty much the same formula used over again and even though Scott tries his hardest to get our heads past that, it’s too obvious, too quick. Good review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-46889472770207812292012-06-20T17:30:39.210+01:002012-06-20T17:30:39.210+01:00It wasn&#39;t meant to be a prequel but it kind of is and manages to annoy fans of Alien(s) and new viewers. There are some good ideas but the writing is pants, you can&#39;t remake a classic like Alien but Scott seems to have let Hollywood take over and cut a lot out. Visually great but let down by a poor story. I don&#39;t think the teaser trailers would ruin it, you can still have a good movie and the science fiction cliches could be accpeted but it was let down by poor characterisation. <br /><br />The 3D was nicely done. I though David was wasted opportunity, Fassbender was very good but the end scene could have been so much better. It&#39;s trying to be deep and a guy who was behind Lost was involved which explains why it did disappointment. <br /><br />Ridley Scott returning to sci-fi should have been a safe bet but it didn&#39;t happen. I know we should expect the worst but you would hope to see a good film now and then. It&#39;s down to the Dark Knight and Bond to revive hopes of a full cinematic experience, rather than just looking nice.toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248210983124204846noreply@blogger.com
