An apocalyptic Sci-Fi catastrophe.

Rating: 4/10 (5 June 2012)

As a big fan of the Alien series, and of Science Fiction in general, I went into this film slightly concerned that Ridley Scott would, after all these years, botch the job. And he did. This film was horrible. There were gaping plot holes, the behaviour of the characters in the film completely illogical at times, and an overall weak story that is never fully explained. Yes, the film is very pretty, and stunning to look at. Yes, some of the acting is quite good. But as far as story and plot goes, this film is a disaster. An apocalyptic Sci-Fi catastrophe. Any Sci-Fi fan of Blade Runner, 2001, BSG, the original Star Wars, Alien, Aliens, will be let down on all fronts. In regards to Alien, this film isn't as scary. In regards to Aliens, this film isn't as fun. Very disappointing. I had high hopes, and they were dashed.
