A very good movie which could achieve more

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2013)

I am really very surprised with all the hate.I find it a very good movie actually and if i was to complain about something that would be that it didn't exploit all these different layers that the script provided.The cinematography,the direction,the acting were very good.The atmosphere was very intriguing and the whole industrial setting surely helped to achieve the dread and neutral at the same time feeling which made the characters look even more helpless and alone.A prison which didn't held its prisoners behind the bars and instead the prisoners choose to convert to a faith which essentially became their true prison,a thin hierarchy(i am referring to the wardens) that no one in reality acknowledged yet it still existed,the real human Bishop who was rejected by Ridley in contrast to how she befriended the android Bishop(a reference to the corruption of humanity).All of the above and more that i didn't mentioned, haven't be explored at their fullest yet they could.What i didn't like was the tragic past of the doctor(or at least the way it was presented) and his unnecessary romance with Ridley and also the fact that all prisoners were so fearful and respectful of Dillon,it seemed very convenient.Concluding I think that it was way better than alien 1 and aliens ,which were very predictable and followed very standard plot lines.Also alien1 wasn't in no way using new and innovative narration or ideas even in its time and is very overrated.Surely it helped popularize the sci-fi genre but this is the point where all the praise should stop.
