djdabush Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I tend to agree with this. Warning contains spoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 saw it yesterday...same conclusion. The first half is good, tense, interesting, etc. the second was just a bit stupid. Plus, it left me with way more questions than answers - so much so I was trying to work them out rather than just enjoying the film. That said, I will buy the directors cut as I agree that it seemed that loads had to be cut. I pretty much share the same opinion. I thought it was a good movie. The cg was great and it felt really real. There were some boring parts and there are a lot of unanswered questions but I expected that. There was no way the movie would answer all the fans questions. Overall for me a 4/5. Anyone can watch it regardless if you've seen the other films. My rating is solely on the movie not the other movies' influence. It is a good film.

Pelle Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 7/10 from me. It won't be seen as one of the best in the history of films, but it was decent enough. I didn't expect to get that many answers. But I do expect a sequel. Theron and Elba are the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Watched last night - not very good is it. I thought it was going to be immense. Such a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I still rather like it. I hope the DVD has the deleted scenes within the film (an extended cut, if you will) rather than tucked away on a bonus disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2012 There's a lot of talk of, at the very least, the bluray having about 30 minutes of deleted scenes. No word if it's been recut with them in... but I'd figure not. After all, Ridley Scott doesn't do Directors Cuts (), because the Directors Cut is the one he puts in the cinema. And Prometheus was exactly the vision he wanted when it was released in the cinema (), and hadn't been cut to ribbons at all (). Not that an extended cut is saving it, mind. . I still liked it but it's a mess and a disappointment, shouldn't even be uttered in the same breath as the film it's allegedly a prequel to.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Depends what your expectations are, really. It's flawed, undoubtedly, but in an admirable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Worth a watch then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2012 If you don't expect a masterpiece and aren't terribly invested in the Alien universe, it's a decent watch. It's greatest success is how it looks - it's stunning beginning to end. Thats about it though. It's absolutely riddled with flaws and problems and plot holes and crap dialogue and absurd scenes and bad acting. When I saw it at the cinema a couple of scenes that are supposed to be horrific, or encourage empathy with a character, had people laugh at the unintentional hilarity of it all, because of how badly the scenes were done. It's also clearly been hideously badly edited, hence there being half an hour of cut scenes apparently on the home release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It's greatest success is how it looks - it's stunning beginning to end. Sounds like my kind of film then. I've been told I'm very superficial numerous times in life so this movie could be right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just watched it, pretty dissapointed although in it's defence I was expecting a masterpiece, which it ain't. The surgery scene is horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Jesus when the best thing you can say is a film looks good that says its all, most of Michael blumin Bays films look good. They are all shit (apart from The Rock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 16, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2012 I watched this today and I thought it was good. I was expecting i to be terrible though, i've never seen an alien film either. Don't think it's as bad as people are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 16, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2012 It's not a good film. I could enjoy it on a superficial level, it being pretty and can be watched fairly brainlessly (arguably it falls apart if you engage your brain, tbh), but its too riddled with silly flaws and mistakes to be good.
