Has Ridley Scott Lost It? is the real question.

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2012)

From the music to the plot, this disaster reeks of cliché after cliché ranging from venerable Star Trek musical melodic references, to the hack style of "Lets do the most stupid thing we can do when facing unimaginable danger!"
But I must say the visuals were absolutely top notch.
The real question is how did this train wreck happen? Maybe RS functions best as a director only. Maybe he needs the perspective of a Producer. Maybe he works best with some higher level guidance. Who knows?
And the other question is why has this gotten such great ratings? How did Roger Ebert rate this 100??? Could be that I'm 59 years old and the Ratings System is geared for the Young that don't know much about "Vintage" sci-fi.
At any rate, a dismal failure and now, I'm going to be very skeptical of any RS movie to come my way - and let me tell you, that is a very sad state of affairs considering his previous works.
Oh so disappointed, Tom
