So pretty but no substance

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2012)

Overall just an average movie. It was beautiful and I was entertained at times however the script was so bad that I was frustrated and annoyed. I feel like Scott sold us short. He thought by pulling out all the bells and whistles visually, the viewers would be too dumb to notice the lack of character development and how the characters' action were completely ignorant and unbelievable. I could go on and on with examples of that but others have already done so. I blame Lindelof for ruining yet another script (he ruined the Lost series) and I blame Scott for letting him do it. I really thought Scott would show Alien the respect it deserved since it is what put him on the map. Instead he p!$$3d on it.
