Loose Ends

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2012)

The effects of the movie were amazing and the acting done by Charlize Theron was great. She played her part being "cold-hearted" and disinterested that I almost believed she was a robot. The idea behind the movie was also really interesting and the way the plague and everything happened in the story line was great. However, for the two young doctors some of the scenes they did were absolutely not believable. Dr. Shaw's boyfriend he had no role in the movie to be honest, he contributed to nothing except to help the other scientists and people in the mission to get killed much faster with his "I don't care attitude". Moreover, I understand that some movies must leave loose ends in order to establish a sequel but this movie has way too many to the point that in some parts you really don't quite understand what's going on. I don't understand the very beginning when the alien commits suicide, also why the alien that they awaken attacks them. How did the android David learn to speak their language? And why would they stop at the moon in the foreign solar system when they said at the beginning of the movie that the planet where they are heading is similar of Earth. Why would you stop at the moon if you're going to a planet? Too many questions left unanswered and the ending alien coming out of the "humanoid's" stomach looks just like the one from the movies "Alien". Is this movie part of those series or not? What's deal?
