in man. no 'thing' can like the desert.

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2012)

In comparison to the 'Alien' Franchise this film is much more spacious visually. The camera work of the rolling landscapes of skye is breath taking and true art. Without dialog the film begins its thread of ambiguity. A thread that remains throughout the film. The script is intelligently put together. Science is constantly portrayed as a cultured and creative discovery and unfolding of destiny. Like 'bladerunner.' the fantasia of biology and physics make way for the core of theology and psychology, questions and view points are presented to the audience about 'faith.' and mental proneness. Questions that are relevant in this day and age. The effort that have gone into this film have been immense.If you are expecting the claustrophobic thriller/horror of alien you might be disappointed. Instead you will be given and inspiring insight into extra terrestrial life and the working and comprehension of the human mind. this film is an athesist's wet dream. but it presents this in a graceful and cultured way.
