How does this get a high rating.

Rating: 1/10 (3 October 2012)

I love SciFi, but this movie was a letdown and a cop out by Scott. Religious themes, romance and quick solutions after cartoonish action sequences. What a waste of money, and a waste of potential. Not quite as bad as The Day the Earth (as represented by America and a Fast Food Chain) Stood Still, but in the same league of wasted resources. If this cost even 120 Million, they would have been better off giving 1 million to 120 different directors and see what that produced. I appears to be painted with some type of a generic brush, like bad music which uses commonly available and overused samples to create a clone of a mediocre song. If there is a director's cut I'll give it another go, but if it's just the same edit with extra stuff put in for the fans then it will be mostly forgotten like the other trash rehashed by by a large corporation, remembered only as the film done to cash in on the former glory of an innovative movie that was Alien. Like the Alien vs Predator francheese (sic).
