Highly overrated

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2002)

To balance the reviews, I have to call this movie highly overrated.
Action and lines are highly cliché-like and many features are too unrealistic even for fiction.
Take the motor vehicles (tractor like bulldozer-thing) with their noisy combustion engines. Surely we can expect something better in the distant future of Aliens.
Or think about a marine on combat mission entering a potentially hostile environment on a planet in her bare skin. No protection gear. Reminds me of Iraq. (ed. Jan 2005).
Communication equipment connected by cable? I mean, this is sci-fi, remember? Couldn't they at least have thought of wireless? We've had radios for a hundred years. Intercomm with cables??
Besides the actions lingers on with no purpose for at least 70 minutes.
Calling this a great film is simply crazy. At best it's a waste of good time.
