Must see film

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2012)

I absolutely loved this film.
A few things - no spoilers -
It seems that many (but not all) of the folks slamming this movie truly expected it to be a complete prequel to Alien. As has already been said in the media, there are some of the same elements but it is not, and if that's all you're expecting and looking for, this is not the film for you.
I loved Lost and I see some of the same elements in Damon Lindelof's script writing here - more than one way to interpret the story, some mystical elements, and a well constructed plot with parts that drop into place throughout the film. Sure - there are some things completely open to interpretation and that's OK with me. I don't want a 20 minute V.O. at the end of the film addressing each element.
Finally - as seems to be agreed even by the folks who seemed to loathe this film - Michael Fassbinder's performance is astonishing. A very nuanced and well thought out and acted role for him. I will definitely see the film again, in large part to watch someone really at the top of his game in a role.
I've given this film a great deal of thought since seeing it about 24 hours ago and continue to connect more dots making me appreciate it even more.
This film is well done, well acted and gorgeous to look at.
Don't read the reviews filled with spoilers; make your own decision. This one was worth the wait.
