will be known as the forgotten prequel to alien

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2012)

I don't know if there is an annual award for best movie trailer, but if there is, I'd say this one would win for sure. Unfortunately, it was a major let down not only to me but to everyone else it seems as well. Which is bizarre when you take a look at the people involved in making this movie. How could you go wrong with Ridley Scott going back to his roots and taking on the epitome of arguably the greatest sci-fi horror genre Alien, that he began. How could you go wrong with Oscar winner Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender(to his credit, he was very good in this movie), Noomie Rapace, Idris Elba, and going back all the way to the beginning to find out who it was that was carrying the alien cargo, back in 1979? Everything fell flat in this movie, except for one scene that made me give this movie a 6 instead of a 4. It was an intense, gruesome, unflinching scene, that was awesome. It's a shame the movie didn't have more intensity like that scene did, and it's even more of a shame that it didn't equal up to the trailer that showed the potential that it had and could have been. What makes me really nervous is that Scott is supposedly going to make a sequel to Blade Runner. Don't blow it Scott, you already blew one classic!
