All the haters of this movie are just a bunch of sore disgruntled Alien fans...

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2016)

Truly an EXCELLENT movie. In fact, one of my favorites. I've watched it several times and managed to be entertained every one of them, even though I generally don't enjoy watching movies over again. All the haters here bringing this movie's average rating down and writing bad reviews are simply a bunch of sore disgruntled Alien fans who were expecting a proper prequel to the Alien films, despite the fact that it wasn't intended to be. This movie is its own film; it has its own story and, despite being clearly tied to the Alien series in many ways, works best as a stand alone film. The other haters complain about the fact that the movie leaves a lot of open ends and questions unanswered. Well, news flash: not all questions must be answered, and it is pretty obvious that these mysteries were left open ended for future sequels. People need to get out of the whole "I need to know now" mentality, expecting to get all the answers spoon-fed to them, and they'll enjoy the film much more. A big part of the movie's charm is its ambiguity; it's a mystery film. All the complainers would probably enjoy Avatar much better; the whole film is centered around exploring the CGI world with little to no plot. This film has a solid plot; its setting is in a world however that we know little about, and we are thrown into there at the beginning with the same amount of knowledge on it as the characters. In other words: what we know is what they know. The open ended mysteries of the film are what make it interesting and exciting, and I am very much looking forward to the sequel. Don't listen to all the haters and complainers; they're not judging the film itself, but rather rating it and complaining about it based on their unfulfilled (and unconfirmed) expectations of a proper prequel, and their frustration at not getting all of the answers to their questions handed to them on a golden platter. Excellent movie! 10/10
