It is what it is and that's OK

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2012)

I'm not sure why there's so much hatred floating around for this film. I knew this wasn't going to be a ton like Alien or any of it's sequels. I thought the film on it's own was good enough. The acting wasn't terrible. The script was fine and the SFX was damn good, too. Looking at the long list of movies Mr. Ridley has done over the years, I think he can safely add to his collection of well made films. Now it's not in the same realm as Alien, Blade Runner or Gladiator. But it's still a good film.
So go and see the film. And forget all of the haters for the film. Make your own decision.
