Ouch!! I'm getting splinters...

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2013)

This is apparently one of those love it or hate it kinda films... A marmite situation, if you like. Being a minority all my life ( At least, opinion-wise ) I'm going to sit on the fence here. There's no denying the plot is a teensy bit daft, and the trouble-in-space plot has been done to death.
But director Ridley Scott is a dab hand at these sort of cosmic shenanigans, and here again he injects excitement and intrigue into a scenario which could have been deathly dull. Watch out for some truly vile creatures too... If we ever get invaded by some of these beasties, remind me to evacuate the planet. It's a bit overlong too, but fans of the Aliens film... REJOICE!!
Everyone else, make your own mind up... 6/10
