Oh Mr. Scott, you were nearly halfway there....

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2012)

Could have been a lot better, as a sci-fi movie it lived up to my expectations, great look and eye for detail, everything you can expect with today's technology to make a movie look spectacular, but it couldn't hide what bad script it has, the many plot holes and ridiculous characters...(Theron was a bit of a disappointment too)it seems they spent a lot of time on the look of the movie but not the story...too much going on, too little explained, the xenomorph went from black fluid to snake like entity to octopus to octopus/jockey.....come on an octopus?? what happened to the original creature design we all got to love....anyway, i can go and on.....but read the reviews on here and you pretty much get an idea of all it's flaws, I agree with most of them. This movie is a victim of it's time...too much relying on the awe, too little on the story, too bad Mr. Scott that you bowed to the big Hollywood bosses, times were better in 1979....
