Very good movie! Refreshing....I hope more of this is coming out

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2012)

I had big expectations about the movie and I wasn't disappointed.
What I liked was that they were able to combine the modern effects and technology with the vision that was represented in the first Alien movie. You could also see how the evolution of the 'monsters' will end into the well known "Alien" creature.
Also the android was very well played and was reminded me to the bad android in the first movie.The walls and doors of the spaceship were also resembling the first movie.
So all in all I found it a prequel worthy of its name and it was also as standalone movie very good.
I also very much liked the fact that the big ET they awoke completely ignored the fact that he was talked to and remained "in character" ; namely looking down at the humans as nothing more then insects or rodents. :) It was also so refreshing to see a real SF as opposed to something like Battleship where you have to wonder if star faring species loose their intelligence in the process.
The only thing that was less is that the director sometimes overdoes it when preparing a character for some future event in the movie. When a character says that she cannot bear children you know for sure that she will get pregnant from something unspeakable. You see that in almost every movie. I do not know why, it does not add really anything to the fact that an alien is growing into you....
