Well, what else could we expect from Ridley Scott?

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2012)

Of course, everybody would expect another Avatar, Matrix or Inception. Well, don't. No matter how fan of this movie you are, you have to accept that this is a very poorly thought movie. Several attempts to make it great failed lamentably. Excuse me, but lanterns? We are in 2094 for Christs sake. Lanterns? No other genial source of lightning?. A drone that can map kilometers of tunnels per hour, but the astronauts light their way with lanterns? And then... the robot. I mean yes, OK, it's a robot, but to think 80 years from now we won't be smart enough to have a robot find his way around without a head? What are we? Stupid? Anyways, besides these exquisite fails, the movie is quite captivating. It is a barrier breaker (Ridley Scott style) that the trailer actually contains scenes you can't find in the movie. The performance is very good, Noomi Rapace being unexpectedly sweet, and the others... well, good enough. But the very idea that you are looking at the origins of Alien... That's actually mind blowing. I would say "YES" to the fans of genre and "Use with caution" to anybody else. Enjoy.
