well, i went to see the premiere and saw it again at midday today. to start with i really didn't know what to think of it, i was ready for something edging towards Alien. to be honest what we got was something completely unexpected.
it's original in it's ideas, which is fresh to see these days and the fact it leaves so many unanswered questions is great!
i think ridley has done a fab job of this bad-boy, sure some of the script is a tad loose but nothing is ever perfect (see typo in alien when ripley is talking to mother). after seeing it this afternoon again it really opened my eyes to the amazing ideas presented throughout.
personally i wouldn't go as far to say it is part of the alien franchise, it's not. it's certainly a standalone film with loose elements from the alien universe which makes it interesting to say the least.
a high five for everyone involved, i look forward to any future releases!
