Prequel or not a prequel? Really good film (spoiler ish).

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2012)

SOME SPOILERS IN THIS.
It is difficult not to be really love this film. Waiting for over 1 year for this release was bad enough but when it was released, you just had to watch it.
This film was filmed in 3d and the only choice for me was to watch it in true 3d hd in odeon. I watched it in real3d and was really surprised how good the 3d effects were. Ridley Scott made sure it was not overwhelming and not too much 3d. I would say a fine balance. I would need to say to the real die hard 3d filmers, this film is not too dark for 3d. Ridley Scott made sure this was just about right. As there are not much mention about the 3d, I would say roughly 30% of the film was in 3d. The tunnel part early in the film was amazing. You felt that you were in the tunnel itself.
Enough about the 3d and more about the film.
Although the film is mentioned that it is not a direct prequel of alien and more a new film. I would say for the die hard alien fan, that there is enough to answer most of the questions about the alien in the cockpit. Plenty of nice little clues about the alien!
I don't want to go too much about the film as it would ruin it. I believe the advertisements of the film was kept to a minimum, in order for everyone to understand the film from start to end. Thank you for not ruining the film due to advertisements.
I got to say that visual effects are very much superior and very very good.
I myself, would say this film is a direct prequel to alien. No matter what they did to the film, it was much better than thought.
8 out of 10 for me.
Although there was a classic ending to the film, I would like Ridley Scott to make sure that he takes a clever decision on if they want to continue this film via a sequel or not. All I can say, if he did leave this film like it is, it will definitely be good as it is.
Anyway, everyone enjoy.
