Horrible.

Rating: 2/10 (2 June 2012)

Really. Absolutely atrocious. I won't bother with a lot of detail because the many flaws have already been touched upon by the other negative reviews on this site. The entire thing suggests that Ridley Scott does not understand the first thing about science - he must have slept through the science lessons in primary school, even. Acting... I'm embarrassed for all of them. Those performances seem to have been pulled out of cans. Pork-n-beans acting, that's what I feel like calling it. The look of it seems to be impressive to many people, but it is only so in the sense that it looks very expensive. It's very *big.* Everything is big, flashy... but there is no beauty or subtlety to the images. Even the bigness of it all gets a bit tiresome, eventually. The only way to see this movie as a success is if you place it in a category with "The Room" - take a group of friends and make like you're on MST3K. It's so jaw-droppingly bad, you can actually have a lot of fun with it.
