Looked good but muddled, bloated and annoying.

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2012)

I never normally write reviews but thought that I needed to vent some of my frustration on the ether!!
To quickly summarize it would seem Scott wanted to make a 3d movie to compete with rival James Camerons Avatar and decided that an 'Alien' type film would be a good way of getting funding. Alas the plot and script is incredibly weak with the characters and their actions unexplained.
The pseudo science and religious background to the story is cringe worthy.
It would seem no on was in a position to turn round to Scott and say 'this is crap redo do it till it makes some sense!!'
I would say that the Look of the film, sets cgi etc etc was great so maybe they got to preoccupied with that and forgot about the rest of it.
