Plot holes galore

Rating: 2/10 (5 June 2012)

I won't repeat what a lot of other reviewers have said, but just wanted to register and warn any movie-goers that this film is not worth your £12 - $20 at the box office.
It is a shambles.
Only the opening scene with Michael Fassbender has any redeeming qualities - and looks like it will shape into a good movie in the 2001/Moon mold. But even this scene opens up major holes in the movie. Fassbender is watching (and quotes from) 'Lawrence of Arabia'. So movies exist in this world. Yet none of the other characters have scene ANY Hollywood thrillers, or read any novels or anything. They continue to fall in to the same traps as every other idiot in every crappy sci-fi film ever made.
Take helmet off? Check. Play God with a new species? Check. Open the ships doors despite not knowing who/what is trying to get in? Check The list of 'I can't believe they actually did that' moments is endless.
Some of the special effects are neat, and Fassbender is the one redeeming quality.
The entire movie is a set-up for multiple sequels (or more Alien prequels)
Laughable. Everyone involved in this (except Fassbender and the special effects guys) should be ashamed.
