Just another summer movie

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2012)

I just saw this movie yesterday after great anticipation from all the trailers i saw, i even saw the first movie again because it was the best in the series (maybe 4 was to haven't decided yet). First i must say that if you go, go to the 3D it's a must, the effect's are brilliant (and i haven't said it in a long time about a 3D movie although the AVENGERS came close). you can see the ashes fly in your face when they first land, and everything just engulfs you when you get into the movie, the sound is amazing all around just amazing effects. Having said that, The real problem begins with the plot, if i hadn't known the film is directly connected to to the alien series i wouldn't have been so disappointed, but Ridley Scott really disappoints in a big way. seeing the movie i felt like this was the "Clash of the Titans" version of the Alien saga, just bad all around. The connection to the saga is well pointed out but the plot is a joke there is a mini plot intertwined that is even worse,i fail to even see the connection of the origin of humanity here, and so those scoot fail to show it.if the point of the movie was that there is no point to everything, so really whats the point to go see this movie at all. The cast includes: Charlize Theron (oh mama), Michael Fassbender & Guy Pearce all great actors and all just waisting away in this movie. Noomi Rapace plays here character really well and that really adds to the dark atmosphere and the conflicts between the characters, but there was no real need for so many frames of her tummy, she looks very ripped, but come on. In conclusion without the amazing 3D and effects there is no real reason to see the movie at all, i am very disappointed with the great Ridley Scott who brought us: Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Blade Runner and of course Alien.
