Would make any Xenomorph proud

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2012)

Before I get into the review itself, let me just say this is probably one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen. Not only did all of the trailers and advertisements make the movie look good, the movie itself exceeded beyond them. I have read tons of reviews that people have been writing for this movie, and to just sum up my opinion of all of them, I will say just give it up, its Science Fiction. Ridley Scott created a movie that matches the unique and stunning style of his original Alien movie, while not relying on that to make a new movie which is set in the same universe, but is great on its own without needing to much connection to Alien. All lot of the complaints people have had over this movie don't actually have any ground to stand on. Its almost like most of them did not even really watch the movie. One of the complaints I have read was that the characters are very stupid. Yeah, right. Other than a few who were MEANT to be dumb, I don't see how anyone could honestly be called stupid. I don't think having the quick thinking of finding a way to preform your own operation in minutes is something that I call dumb. I have also seen complaints about this movie being to much in Scotts point of view. Well yeah, of course it is, what did you except him to do, considering this is his movie, and he has said he has tried to support the fans needs as much as possible. Was there any complaints about the original Alien movie being in his vision? Probably not, but with people expecting something similar to that, they will surely get disappointed for as much as this movie relates to Alien, it is a movie of its own. People have also been complaining about the crew as being bad scientists. Well, what do you expect, there only human. People get careless, make mistakes, and if anything this bring the characters to life and shows what kind of people they really are. The whole reason the team was sent to this planet was to find life and hopefully their creators. People have complained that just some random billionaire decided to go and look for this planet, and with that, good for him. People now a days disappoint me, because does not the idea of exploring the Universe itself make the journey worth it, let alone looking for an alien race. If I have a trillion dollars I too would fund for space exploration, just for the sake of exploring and adventure. People also have stated that finding the ancient temple itself seemed unbelievably lucky. Well then so be it. There's always a small chance that such things can happen, and what would a sci fi movie be without such extreme circumstances. Basically, most of the movie actually works well as long as instead of finding ways it doesn't work, you think of it as an actual sci fi movie and find reasons why it could. The effects in this movie were amazing. Some have said that the aliens look like plastic, well just go watch Avatar, there you can find plastic looking Aliens, but here, while yes they were slimy, they were brilliant. The soundtrack is also brilliant and puts this movie into a unique place of its own. The actors were all well picked and did a wonderful job, and I especially appreciate that none of them seemed too recognizable as characters from other movies. All in all, this will be up there in my top movies ever, and I greatly appreciate Scotts efforts in trying to bring back the Alien universe and create a whole new story without ruining and focusing on the original Alien one.
( BTW, people have also stated that the movie looks dark because of its dark setting plus wearing the 3D glasses, well the brightness is actually correct, because Scott purposely brightened the movie for the 3D version to match that of the 2D one, so if you are complaining about the 3D version being dark, you'll have it no better in the 2D version[ not that I found the brightness at all bad])
