Expected much more...

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2012)

The movie wasn't bad. Actually someone who never saw the trailer, the interviews and all the Alien movies, he maybe voted for more of 7/10.
So where is the problem?
1. Director gave too much info before the release of the movie: When you give interviews around the world saying that the movie is a prequel to Alien and you will see a connection in the last minutes, this is a HUGE spoiler. Why don't you just leave the people to discover this through your movie?
2. Same pattern as Alien movies: A team arrives, one by one they die, a chosen one lives.
3. Same time line as Alien movies.
So to sum up, this is a great movie (specially in 3D), but the scenario although not involving directly aliens, it is so similar to Alien movies and lacks any kind of originality that a Sci-Fi movie requires. No surprises, no excitement, you pretty much know what will happen next.
So if you were born yesterday and never seen a Ridley Scott movie, then go for it. If not, sorry, it's a bad remake/copy of older movies..
