Below average movie

Rating: 3/10 (9 June 2012)

I'm always looking for movies that create their own world, their own mood. I had high hopes for this film to do just that. It even started out good, with epic scenes, cryptic messages. However it was all downhill from there. I'll try to write without revealing anything, maybe it will make the movie less boring for some.
About the plot: simply put, nothing made sense. Not even the major plot points. There was so much random stuff thrown in, I wonder if they realized that the main thread wasn't enough for a two hour long movie ? Maybe if they stuck to making a philosophical picture about our origins, or just went the other way and made an action movie. But no, it tried to be everything at once. Also, since there was no time to develop the characters, their actions seemed random.
Acting: decent enough, given how bad the screenplay and dialogues were. Noomi Rapace delivered the only scene that evoked some kind of emotion, namely absolute terror.
CGI: top notch, too bad the rushed scenes didn't let you enjoy it.
Music: not worth mentioning.
Overall: for me there were two good scenes, the rest was average to bad, sometimes embarrassing even for a B movie. I don't get it, with the amount of money, A list actors, it could have been a very good, epic movie. What the hell were they thinking when they wrote the screenplay? Was it actually screenwriters, or just a bunch of teenagers ? I'll give it a 3, for the visuals and the actors trying, plus Charlize Theron was in a tight spacesuit :)
bye, krajo
ps: oh, and in the last scene, where they wanted to tie into the Alien movies, and where you'd think there's no way anyone can f**k this up, I mean you just have to get the big dead alien guy in the chair, how hard that can be? Guess what, they screw it up, unbelievable.
