Not a scary as first "Alien" movie

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2012)

To my surprise the movie was not as scary as I expected. The casting was right-on and the dialog seemed fine too. The movie features: Great visuals/special effects - especially when the action is in space and the moon's atmosphere; Respect for the Alien movie universe; Totally believable aliens - that are bad ass; and Humor - when you least expect it and with at least one cool reference to a classic movie. I can see there being a cool sequel or series. I can't understand all the bad press and unfavorable reviews. After all, it's a Hollywood sci-fi movie. All that said, I found the idea of another reviewer: That illogical - but empathic - humanity's DNA source to be a rebel alien - sound!
