Was expecting more - Terrible 3d

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2012)

I confess, I wasn't a huge Alien fan but the trailer for this looked epic so I thought I'd give it a go. I also thought it had massive potential to rival Avatar in the 3d steaks. Sadly, it didn't. The 3d was totally pointless, which is a shame as there are some beautiful scenes containing holograms of the universe. It would have been amazing if the planets would have zoomed out of the screen for us to almost touch and hold them.
It's totally watchable with some decent performances, but some bad ones too. Some of the dialogue is very sub standard.
I know Ridley Scott likes his powerful female leads but it's totally unbelievable what the main goes through and survives. But hey, this is Hollywood after all.
It could and should have been much darker with more suspense.
I left the cinema not really knowing what to think of it. It was OK, it left my mind instantly though.
