Very good film but not an alien film.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2012)

I've have been looking forward to watching this film ever since i heard that they was going to make a follow up to alien with ridley Scott. I was slightly disappointed as it ain't really an alien film, as it ain't dark and scary, and you don't get the feeling of being isolated like alien and aliens, but it is an alien film in context of how it all started, it does answer a lot of questions but also leaves a lot of questions. The gist of the story is that some archaeologists figure out a map to a planet where they think is where our creators are, so being human their curiosity gets the better of them and they decide to pop over a check it out. boy are they in for a shock.
The film is very well made and is visually stunning, and is a must watch for scfi fans, it holds its own as a stand alone film.
