Wasted Potential

Rating: 6/10 (26 February 2013)

Hi guys, this is another review from Patrick James Green:
THis film wasted it's amazing potential. A really strong, beautiful start.... where the characters, setting and story unfolded with real skill and stunning visuals..... was then ruined when it became a silly splaterfest! Why? How? And - while laughing - do I even care? Such a shame they didn't spend an additional few months developing the story and filling the plot holes, instead of making the visuals so beautiful. This film is all beauty, but no soul. Very disappointing. The other big question is how and if this film connects to the Alien franchise. Much was made and printed by Ridley Scott saying that this film was not connected.... but it seems that he has now gone 180 degrees and said that it IS connected. I think the public still don't understand. Again, another missed opportunity.
