Cinematography great, actors fine, story lacks

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2012)

As the title of my review summarizes, I liked the cinematography of the movie really well. The actors were doing a good job, with Michael Fassbender as the android David standing out. Charlize Theron as enigmatic director was OK too. The rest of the cast was very well replaceable, especially due to lack of screen-time. Having seen the Alien movies, it is not very original what happens in the movie - just slight "gene shifts" of the story spiced up with some hints of a creator/creation story. I must say that the "leaked" story-book that was reported about a year earlier sounded much more interesting than the final result. Overall a bit disappointing - I'm not sure that I would see any sequel that this movie heavily hints at.
