Alien?

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2017)

Where was the alien, the unknown, the trip away from the shore? This film was a spectacular pageant of things i have seen before and immediately recognize. It is obvious that the bankers would not allow a film like the original alien or 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) be made today. A film where the familiar is abandoned in search of the experience of true authentic mystery. I love this movie and enjoyed all the clichés and symbols trotted out in the order they were but I saw nothing that caused me any confusion or wondering or left me unsettled asking WHAT WAS THAT? Oh well, it is not the film makers fault it is what gets made when you are borrowing a 100 million of someone's else's $.
