Visually well done/ Storyline certain Scenes well that's another issue

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2012)

I Agree 100% with Michael Albertsen's review (hope i got the name right).Not to go in complete scene by scene dissection.I was left asking the question why!.Sci Fi fans are the most critical and why wouldn't we be .We all have our own individual expectations and we can all agree it is high.What i am finding and it is a re-curring theme is that Directors are losing touch in delivering as they age, case in point George Lucas In making the Star Wars Prequels.I could not help practically scene by scene seeing images from other films 2010,Event Horizon,Mission to Mars near the ending Deep Rising with the stupid Alien Octopus face hugger.Even the Musical score was more at home with the movie National Treasure!.The scene in which the Alien Spacecraft took off and Prometheus collided with it to stop it reaching Earth left me recalling Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and Independence day!.I walked out feeling completely underwhelmed and disappointed.With Sci Fi it is difficult to differentiate as a lot concepts have already been done what i did expect from a Director of Scott's calibre is to replicate them in a unique way as he did in Alien.A harsh critic i am but from my perspective i did not need a explanation of how the Alien/s came to be.
