Fantastic but very, very ambitious film.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2012)

Wow, where do i start. I understand why the mix reviews, its not a simple story, Alien fans hoping for a straight explanation of the Xenomorph origins will be bitterly disappointed, people looking for a popcorn CGI black and white adventure will also be frustrated with the depth of the story.
Its easy to scrutinize the film looking for plot holes, there's a lot of scenes easy to criticize, but if you only care about silly things like how do they bypass security systems and other ridiculous criticism i read here, this is not a film for you.
This is a very ambitious film, a lot of questions go unanswered but on the other hand it introduces you to a whole new sci fi universe, a brilliant one, the premise of this story is magnificent, its goes way beyond the Alien creature, its dwells into subjects like science (black organic matter is the origin of life spread by an intriguing creature who plants DNA around the universe)and religion (a steril (not virgin) woman gives birth to possibly the 1st xenomorph)(something happens around the date of the birth of Christ that makes our makers want to destroy us) with an amazing amount of creativity, this is a film to be discussed and shared with friends, it leaves the door open to what could become one of the most interesting science fiction series on film.
I am really curious to see how Ridley Scott is going to spin this story in the sequel, if he will focus on the makers or the Xenomorphs.
Its an amazing film, intriguing, exciting, beautiful to watch, great cast and the most interesting story i have seen in cinema in a long time. 10/10
