Great beginning

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2012)

I just want to say that I really enjoyed the movie, and to speak to some of the BS floating around in the review section here.
Have you guys seen Alien at all? Really? Talk about stupid people, doing stupid things. IF everyone did things in movies that was consistent with logic and intelligence, well it would be a really boring movie, wouldn't it? Anyway, it was a good movie, worthy of the franchise and a good start to the series. I like how they tied most of the stuff in. Cool that they finally identify the pilot of the ship that was found in the original and what they were doing. It makes me curious how the creatures turn black for the original and later films, since they were weirdly white. And the huge squid looking thing, is different from the smaller spider looking thing in the original too. Interesting how they had harnessed some kind of strange DNA replication tech, cause the guy in the beginning seeds earths humanity, and then the stuff in the canisters creates aliens out of whatever it "infects".
I was never a huge fan of the Alien series, though I had seen them all. I actually didn't know that this was the prequel until the end of the movie. I enjoyed the movie nonetheless.
