In case nobody's seen this yet: [URL]http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=59862[/URL] First review (it's pretty much spoiler free, so don't worry) from a magazine in Slovenia who have apparently seen the first preview showings of the film. Not sure what he means by "cheap tricks" or inconsistencies, but I guess we'll find out eventually.

"The film takes place forty years before the original and almost century before Aliens, with focal point the moon LV 226. " Did they even watch the film? The one I'm going to see is on LV-223. Not to mention, Slovenia is one of the last countries to see this. I seriously doubt they got to review it first. Just MHO.

There's apparently a review posted from a film critic in Wadiya too, but I can't track it down at the moment. :P

Wait a gosh darn pickin' minute! Why is that the only 'people' who have seen advanced screenings of this film are from backwater countries like Slovenia or Singapore? That doesn't make any sense at all! What film company in the world would release their number one summer blockbuster in Slovenia of all places?

The review is obviously fake. Fox has already denied any kind of preview. Guess some people just want spotlights for their stupidity.

Cypher, It's entirely possible that some movie critics/journalists may get to see it before May 31st. EDIT: Here's a decent article that discusses that sort of thing, among other things: [URL]http://www.videojug.com/interview/life-of-a-film-critic[/URL]

I knew people were going to get irritated about not getting all the answers. Bring on the questions and thought provoking shit! ++++EDIT++++ Just read that Fox denies any screenings and says they're still working on the final cut of the film.

I agree with that. During the post production process, film companies are usually trying to tie up loose ends. It's doubtful that there'll be any screenings prior to the May 31st release date. And if there are...then they won't be made public, and they certainly won't be released in some backwoods country or island in the middle of nowhere.

Always check reputable sources: [URL]http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118053998[/URL] And yes, if there's an industry rag I'm going to believe, it's Variety. I may not [i]like[/i] them, but if they're printing it, I'll take their word for it. Given the high level of "journalistic integrity" that ComicbookMovie.com displayed by running with the 'story,' I'm going to ignore anything else that they post on that site. Variety>ComicBookMovie.com. Anyway Variety's article states the final cut has been delivered (I would imagine so, given the fact that it's already got its rating). But it says press screenings will begin in the coming weeks (in advance of the May 31st premiere, as I suspected they would). So this weirdo from overseas most likely has not seen it. But the press will be seeing it before we do. Which, to me, is a good sign.

Ty azalard, I myself go off facts usually and not bullcrap. "If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, and tastes like a turd, well then, it MUST be a turd......"

[b]UPDATE: Fox say they have not screened the movie for anyone, and are still working on the final cut. They believe the review to be a fake.[/b] The review has been removed...... but then why if its fake? Maybe Fox want to try and censor it? I did hear that their is to be a preview showing for some press etc on the 22nd May. Or there abouts.... If true then i expect that by next Friday there could be leaks and so best to go AWOL from this site...
