Ridley Scott knows better

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2012)

When I knew that this was a new Ridley Scott movie with "alien DNA" I was anxious to see it. The 3D effects are good, the sounds are GREAT, the realism of the scenarios are superb, the aliens are great, but... But the plot is poor. Very, very poor. I didn't recognize Ridley Scott here. The plot is not realistic. Even on a totally "out of this world movie" like Avatar one can have realism all the time. Realism, meaning that all the scenes are logical and justified under the circumstances. Do you know how big is a planet, and how difficult would be to find a surface feature like the one we see on the movie just by chance? Or why that all the people-"meat to die" are just dumb people? They are suppose to be engineers, geologists, people with high qualification, otherwise they would not be there, in a spaceship. But in the movie they look like dumb people, just meat to die or be killed! Or the "enforced" heroes in the end dying for a cause that they don't probably understand yet. Do you know that the basic instinct of all living things is to survive. They would fight to survive before thinking on the living things they left behind on Earth. You don't decide that you are giving your life in 3 seconds for a cause that you don't understand yet. You would at least try different options, them just try to survive even if it would be delaying your death. Only after heroes would emerge. And I could continue writing. This "small" mistakes destroyed what could be an extraordinary movie. The movie looks like it was released before the final editing.
