Disappointing as a science fiction movie.

Rating: 4/10 (28 June 2012)

Yet another science fiction movie that has an anti-science agenda. I wish they could learn that getting things closer to real science actually makes for a better story. Science fiction as a Genre is great because it makes us think so if you have to say "It was a good movie, as long as you don't think about it too much," then it's not good science fiction.
As an Alien movie it still doesn't measure up. I'm actually not a fan of the horror Genre but I liked Alien because it is good science fiction in its execution.
Where the movie worked was in the unspoken parts. In the beginning I believed I was in for a Kubrician treat with top notch cinematography and a very compelling first character introduced. Sci-fi fandom as grown much more sophisticated so I would have to say that this movie was made more for mass consumption than the core niche audience for the genre.
