Not as bad as you think

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2017)

Perfect beginning, middle, yet lackluster ending. The first two acts were filled with intensity and gore which satisfied me plenty. Then the movie took a sharp turn to an underwhelming conclusion. Acting was good with standouts from Michael Fassbender. As for the character development, little to none. I did not care what happened to the crew. Now, this film is shot beautifully and definitely a pleasure seeing on the big screen. The music was intense and helped aid the story. Sadly this movie could have been an 8 or even a 9 for me if the ending was stronger. There's a scene in particular which was absolutely unnecessary and distasteful. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie. The origins however made my head ache. What were you thinking Ridley ! This is all my opinion though. Some of my friends hated it and some loved it. If your interested in this and have nothing better to do, maybe check this one out. If you are a fan of the Alien films, the origins may be a little disappointing and ruin the masterful mystery surrounding the frightening creatures we have all learned to love. With some twists, blood, and action, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the latest installment of the Alien franchise.
