If you hate this movie you should watch it again...

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2014)

This movie has the tendency to make people mad, and I can see why. You pay $15 bucks to go see a horror movie to get scared. When the movie doesn't give you what you expect, you end up hating it, because you feel like it tricked you into seeing it in the first place.
This is the only way I can explain why the haters are so freaking passionate about hating this particular movie. (There is another way, but I don't want to inadvertently insult someone I don't know.)
I recommend this movie for people who have a particular fondness for cult movies, but people shouldn't watch this movie if:
1. They don't like thinking about movies, and how they relate to other movies.
If you are the type of person who likes to be passively entertained by media, and are not at all interested in any kind of intellectual interaction, then you will not like this movie.
2. They don't accept Alien as an entry in the horror movie genre.
Some people think of Alien as Sci-Fi, but it is actually a slasher movie set in space. Everything about the genre fits, right down to the "last girl" character. If you can't accept this, then you will not like this movie.
3. They can't tell "bad acting" from directorial choice.
This one actually makes me upset when I read other peoples reviews. If you can't see that the characters in this movie are intentionally two dimensional to make a point, (in most modern horror they are unintentionally two dimensional, out of laziness) then you should never ever be in the same room with me, because I do not want to share my oxygen with you, and you should also never see this movie.
4. They wear a fedora, and think it's cool.
This one should be self explanatory, but just to break it down. If you fancy yourself to be a connoisseur of film, have an opinion about everything, talk more than you listen, have no friends, and on a general basis think that you know what you're talking about and consequently never question your undeniably omniscient self, then you will probably not like this movie.
8/10
