what a shame

Rating: 5/10 (8 June 2012)

this could've been so good but unfortunately it's not. it's very thin inept plot is full of holes, contradicts itself and defies logic. the acting talent is wasted. everyone raved about fassbenders performance...why? it really was noting special. in fact that sums up the movie 'nothing special'. alien fans have waited a very long time for this and i think they will be very disappointed. the amount of money spent, all the talent involved, the actors, the set designers, the cgi & animatronics manage to deliver nothing more than mediocrity. a new director. producer and writer are needed if the alien legacy is to continue. the possibilities for this concept are boundless it just needs someone with vision rather than mr.scott and his self indulgent drivel
