Fantastic Other World, Nice Idea, don't mind the holes

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2014)

Prequel to Alien. I hate it when they go to so much trouble to make it look great and then treat us to plausibility holes that irritate. I also always love the way that in picking a small crew for a long mission they will pick some social misfits who cant work with the team. Great for an hour and then the pacing flagged and the clichés increased. It was decent entertainment and I did stay till the end. The Christian faith theme was offensive to me. Contains the usual scenes; quiet spaceship in deep space, nothing to do, waking up, reaching the destination, throwing caution to the wind, critical timing, ignoring advice, obvious twists. I am beginning to wonder why I watched to the end.
