So finally i saw it ... lets go straight to the point ...its a very good movie that miss something to be a masterpiece , the problem is that i really dont know what . lets be brief 1)pacing is excellent but another 20-30 minutes would not have been bad , many scenes from the trailers are cut or shoot in a different way 2) the TRAILERS did show really TOO MUCH .. 3) acting is great with Noomi stealing the scene and a great David BUT i will like to note that Marshall Logan Green was great ( and he was supposed to be the weak point ) ... Charlize have her time but is a bit odd character . Idris Elba steal the scene everytime hes in . 4) i dont know how a movie like that can be PG13 ...the Shaw scene is totally gore much more than i thought ... 5) All the Weyland part is a bit of a joke ..was totally unnecessary , that really fall in the Avp Category ( but the rest of the movie is 4 floors above any Avp movie ) 6) the problem of the movie is that miss a bit of focus ...there is some alien heritage , some ethical or mystical questions , some actions , some scary ...a bit too much of everything ...im surprised that is stil a very good movie anyway 7) dont give the fault to Lindelof ...i think that his hand did help the movie , and its easy to see how ...i think the mess was created by a script that had too many heritages to the alien saga and i fear that the fault was of Spahits 8) Monsters ..lets say that the most scary things are the mutated humans 9) i think the whole concept of the movie it to not mistake Science for God ( whatever its ) and in that department the movie give the best ( work of Lindelof here ) 10) 3D was totally unnecessary ...to me 11) all the aesthetic of the movie is top notch 12) all the little flaws dont allow the movie to fail ...is one of 4-5 best scifi movies of the last 30 years . 13) the engineers dont give really an idea of powerful people and even less of Gods , they are a bit silly sometimes BUT are very well done 14) its wrong to say that the plot have big holes , it surely have less than Alien or Aliens ... 15) ah ...well is not a Prequel ....you have to work alot with fantasy to link it to Alien . i will add more points later :p

There's just not enough "meat" on the plot. You barely scrape the surface of the different subjects, before it moves on. This movie demands a good extended. If it wasnt for the impressive sceneries and the good cgi, I would have been disappointed. But it was good. I rate it 7,5 out of 10 albino mountaingoats I'd like to advice people to go see the 2d version. The only thing you'd get out of the 3d version is the discomfort of the 3dglasses.

BTW - You have to use NO fantasy to link it to Alien!! It links perfectly. This plot just happens a long time before the original alien (......it's a prequal).

No spoilers? c'mon man, why would you do that? how is a general review of the movie like that not a spoiler? if you've seen it, and are going to reference it, put it under the spoiler page.

I don't see how his review could be a spoiler? That's like saying the trailer is a spoiler, If somebody says it sucked, would that be a spoiler to you too? :P
