Aliens begins

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2013)

Is this a good or a bad movie.
Humanity runs off into space to search for a race that is possibly the creators of humanity (though they actually only have evidence they contacted humanity, not engineered them, but let us skip over that fact for a moment) only to face danger, horror and the truth is not necessarily what they expected... segue into the Aliens movies.
Certainly it is one of the better prequels that combines originality while remaining faithful to the original story. It also manages to fill in plot holes in the original Alien movie in a sensible manner.
While many people feel the movie was butchered by the script changes (the original script being much more interested than what we actually see) the real problem is that this is just not a well made movie with all the interesting things jumbled together in uninteresting ways.
Worth a look see on a day when you have nothing better to watch.
