Unexpected good movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2012)

I watched this movie yesterday with little know what to expect. Did not watch any trailer neither read any review.. My kind of totally unprepared stuff to be surprised at best or worst. All I knew is that it was a Sci-Fi horror type like movie. At first the opening shocked me a bit, the great big foot bloke drinking something so special it does melt its DNA, wow ... Then big jumps into a cave of Scotland and again bang bang another jump into space this time, I thought to myself if this continue like that I might not enjoy the movie as I'll be seasick. Anyhow, while watching it I was pondering how much Alien movie influence this one have, hmmm. I am a Fan of Alien, especially the first episode and did not know this movie was a prequel of alien. The more I watched this movie the more clear it became it was a prequel of Alien, the so called engineer in the movie by 2 scientists looking for clue about origin of humanity looks so much like the one you found in alien, the spaceship of the engineer too and the list goes on and on till the end where the hero, female (AGAIN, I think Riddley Scot likes wonder woman, no offence to this absolute great director) launch a warning beacon type like signal. That said, the movie took me on a ride, of course there is always flaw, but I really did enjoy it. It also did bring some answer to the Alien franchise (the first one at least). The acting is great, the special FX are present but they feel natural and are really helping the movie itself. The ambiance is pretty dark, even murky sometimes but it is all for the best. If did go watching this movie for answer to Alien knowing it was a prequel I would have a taste of unfinished business in my mouth at the end. It is clear, crystal clear, they deliberately omit some answer so wanted by Alien fan like me... Please Mr Scot bring the next one quicker... Overall a great entertaining movie were horror is present but does not turn your stomach upside down, more than watchable, I'd say Enjoyable. 9/10.
