Watch it for what it is not what you want it to be.

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2012)

Since the movie was hyped up so much, it seems a lot of people went to the movie with a lot of expectations and preconceptions, only to be disappointed.
However, if you consider the movie on its on merit then, its a very good sci-fi movie. Don't expect massive amount of character development nor thrilling dialogs, none of the first 2 alien movies had these nor many of great Sci-fi movies. However this is a thought provoking, visually stunning, and ultimately enjoyable movie.
I do agree though with some here saying that the movie should have been a lot longer. It does feel as though it was rushed at times, but that's the industry of today, 2hr in the theatres and 2.5hr for blu-ray...
