Inspired by Games?

Rating: 5/10 (8 June 2012)

The opening sequence reminds a lot of the Mass Effect Series of Games and in between there is a hint of Assassin's Creed somewhere. I can't help but think whether Ridley Scott was inspired by these games to make this movie.
The movie is good though the plot gets a little too plain to figure out. No surprises anywhere, just a plain old Alien themed movie with space shuttles, the usual crew, some aliens and the future.
The actors do a good job at making the movie a good watchable experience. Expect no wonders though, this will just be an average movie. The 3D experience was not a big deal as well. Most of the movie felt like 2D, and it probably was so. Some scenes reminded me of The Fifth Element and others of Alien and other movies of similar genre, making this just a generic sci-fi movie.
