Still an awful script

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2014)

Just re-watched this film, but now on cable TV with full blast sound instead of a DVD version with poor sound, and the sound makes a big difference: now I could get lost in the production and effects and pay less attention to the silly script. This time I confirmed the film is addressed strictly to the mindless, so there's no need for me to revisit this film anymore. I join all the criticism regarding the script. Some comments: the scene with the alien driver had some power and potential, but why was he so mad and remained so mad, who knows. The old man at first I thought was Rutger Hauer, and I thought to myself, nice touch, Ridley Scott: later I find out it was Guy Pearce and my question, as many have asked, is why? The reason must be in order to sell the film in Australia. Charlize Theron's character served no purpose whatsoever and then was killed for no reason. I guess I'll be curious to see the sequel, but my expectation will not be high.
