Gorgeous Special Effects and Make Up

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2013)

I didn't realize this was a prequel when I saw it. I thought Scott did a great job. The special effects and make up are amazing, the plot and pacing work really well and I really want to know what happens next! Noomi is intense and wonderful, as always. I loved all her scenes.
I read a review of this movie where the writer slammed this movie. I don't think that writer was paying attention. For example, David was studying ancient languages for years in order to improve his chances of communicating with an alien race. This was mentioned in the film.
The "Engineers" were amazingly beautiful. I noticed that one of the actors playing an Engineer is also playing "The Mountain" on "Game of Thrones." They were so cool.
