People don't get it....

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2012)

You should know that in order to appreciate this movie, you need two things:
1. To actually have a little bit of intelligence. This isn't just a stupid slasher movie. It has relatively deep concepts addressed in it such as creation. It isn't Saw or Resident Evil (Yes, I know. Terrible movie).
2. You need an open mind. You have to accept that humanity doesn't know everything, our science is probably flawed in more ways than one and that our scientists are flawed individuals with flawed ideas.
When you get those two things down, you'll be able to appreciate this movie a lot more. You have to remember that Scott left unanswered questions in here on purpose. Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean the movie is completely flawed. That's how it was supposed to be. Not that the movie is perfect, but it is really, really good. As in, it's one of my favorite movies now. It captures concepts of greed, arrogance, love, hate, narcissism, sacrifice, and humility. The scientists behave like they do for a reason. It's not a flaw in the movie. If you have the two things I mentioned above, you'll enjoy the movie. If you don't, you shouldn't bother watching. You'll never really appreciate it. I do, however, agree that the scientists rushed into things a bit. They could have shown satellites being launched or whatever. And the man taking the helmet off was stupid. But it's not like it ruined the movie. A lot of the nitpicking that people are doing is ridiculous. While the movie isn't perfect (some of it just didn't flow well to me), it was really good. I would definitely recommend seeing it. The cinematography was great, right along with the acting. Very, very well done.
