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
