Mostly Enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2012)

Not that long, compared to alien which is much longer. Visually brilliant and the characters weren't introduced in a way that annoyed me like many recent action movies. Eventually things focus on a particular person and I didn't like their acting then and the script was terrible after that wherever there was script, but luckily it wasn't like that for most of the movie so I think it was an enjoyable experience. It was a bit like it could have been the sort of awful cliché scripting that I absolutely hate, but they cut it all out and only left bits of it near the end; leaving the rest to be enjoyed.
That said, don't expect too much. It's pretty much a re-enactment of several alien staples with the idea of giving us an in-the-beginning look at how the aliens from alien came to exist, in a pretty unnecessarily dramatic chain of events.
(if you've seen this film and thought it was the worst thing ever, you might be almost right, but maybe you haven't seen Predators)
