Below Average! Sorry Ridley.

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2012)

Having waited almost two years to see this film, I could not begin to quantify my disappointment as I exited the theater in disbelief. After twenty minutes I knew we were in trouble. Something was amiss. I just didn't feel the dread, didn't relate to any of the characters, found the dialog under-par, and everything just seemed rushed. Rather than rant on and make myself even more depressed, here are a few of the points I had trouble with: - The music score was...oh I forgot to listen to that! Some theme repeated over and over.

Why DID David spike Holloway's drink. Spite, curiosity, in the name of Weyland? - What exactly did the snake creature do after it entered that guys mouth, yet his mate gets covered in acid and returns as a super-strength zombie? Hmmmm - Did Guy Pierce agree to do that role or was a gun put to his head? - Vickers and the Captain agree to have sex while the rest of the crew are in mortal danger outside? - A cesarean section then marching on to be the heroine of the movie. Just a scratch eh? - Do I recall any of the characters names? - Why were the engineers so hostile in the first place? - Shaw gives birth to a squid! - The tentacled creature was stolen from John Carpenters The Thing.

The baby Xenomorph looked like a donkey.

I could go on all night at this rate. I won't be returning to see it just to confirm it was awful. But Ridley...after loving your movies for thirty years, you need to restore confidence QUICKLY!!
