Underwhelmed...

yep. if you watched the trailer (as I did a month ago with NO knowledge of such a film being made, and a big fan of original Alien) then, like me, you would be dying to watch a film full of suspense, mystery, grit, believable characters. Wasn't the case. I didn't go in there for an alien prequel. I went in for that feel that I had when i watched the original alien, and as a result, underwhelmed and mildly embarassed. BUT: like Dr Shaw, I want to know more and why...so if Scott can get the script right, minimise the hollywood bullshit (cobra scene "dumb" scientist and cringeworthy joke / bet amongst crew members (how can they do it and not feel embarrassed!), not rush scenes.....then viva la sequel....for that sequel to be special, it has to learn such lessons, and, for me, go back to that original, for that suspense factor. Nice try with getting the alien fanboys all excited with the trailer.
