Oh the stupidity...

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2012)

I am mainly writing this because it is clear some people who write their thoughts are too stupid to understand the movie and too lazy to understand why they are wrong.
Personally I think it is a great movie which everyone should see and before the spoilers will say -this movie is not an Alien Prequel or sequel - like Ridley Scott said in an interview. It is merely in the same universe as the whole Alien debacle.
Spoilers ---------------------------
Now to address the silliness.
It is a sequel / prequel:
Now, with that out the way. Yes there is an Alien in the movie. Right at the end, but has nothing to do with the events previous to it. This is merely to show how the very first Alien was created. Will it be in a sequel? Maybe. It is more of an Origin story not a prequel because it has nothing to do with the characters or story of the first Alien.
CGI on the Aliens are dumb:
Some peoples can't tell cgi from real because it was mostly costume based.
No suspense or thrills:
Yes it is lacking in this department but it is clearly meant to be more of a psychological thriller.
How do the creators have the exact same DNA?:
No where does it say 100% match. Only 'match'.
Why is there a giant squid type Alien and not just the Xenomorph?:
You have to ask why does the organism just kill Charlie instead of growing inside him. Impregnate shaw, then work as a parasite on the creator? It evolves. eventually taking on the highest form of itself. The Xenomorph.
My favourite - Why are there face hugs in the vases?
There was no living things in the vases / urns, only the black liquid/goo. The large worms (not actually alien face hugs) were mutated versions of the smaller worm life forms seen when someone treads on the ground and small worms are seen writhing about. They later become the ones which kill the two scientists.
Why did David infect Charlie?:
One of two reasons. He is a faulty android anyway and wants to 'get rid of his parents' which he basically says in the movie. Or when talking to him at the table before giving him the drink he asks him how far he'd be willing to go to figure out what it all meant, then slipping the black goo into the drink.
How do they grow so fast?:
They are genetically modified biological weapons from the creators specifically designed to work and grow fast.
People get in a twist over certain decisions:
Oh okay lets leave the alien head alone, do months of research, careful tests and work in the space of the movie, or have the character do something which makes the head explode. Which would you rather see?
People want an answer to it all now...
Some people come to the conclusion with movies that quite clearly set up sequels should answer everything now. Why does the biological weapons make Charlie go crazy? Why were the creators going to destroy Earth? Why did they start life on earth to begin with? Why did the creator at the start have to kill itself? Why didn't it seem to answer things which we clearly aren't meant to know yet??
Get James Cameron to do the sequel:
Go and watch avatar again. Just no.
Why can David work the Alien tech?:
Same reason he was not in stasis for 2 and a half years before hand. To learn it.
All in all if people looked hard enough and paid attention the movie would make a lot more sense to them.
As for claims of off CGI in places and some stilted dialogue and character development, I totally agree but I feel this in no way diminishes the story which make perfect sense.
Great movie. Movie of the year? Maybe. Haven't decided over cabin in the woods or 21 jump st yet, but it could be taken by spider-man, batman or the hobbit. I dread to think what stupidity people will come up with, with the hobbit.
This is a LOTR rip off. It even has some of the same characters!
