[size=5][b]Note:[/b] This review has been marked "spoiler-free". Any spoilers posted will be removed (the entire post).[/size] -----------------------------------------------------------------wow..what a mindfck...I really don't know what to think First off..this movie is not a classic...a classic movie has full confidence in its direction and story...this movie is confused saying that, there are moments of pure awesome.....long moments...the first 50 mins I was at the edge of my seat, the last 20 minutes were amateur hour, some people even laughed (not a good way) It is mentally stimulating...there are scenes, ideas and concepts that take sci-fi to a new level there are also moments of pure cheese..."I choose to believe"...I hate that fucking "I choose, you have a choice" horseshit in Hollywood...I thought Ridley was above all that And there are many weak moments where you are like...come on Ridley...jesus christ..you could have just cut that bit Fifield was great but underused...That stupid fuck Buddy Holly I could have done without (the one that touches the cobralien) They should have got rid of the background characters and focused on the main ones...It's like an episode of Friends, you know when they have those weak ass background 'extras'....just weakens the film Some of the set design was cheap, like cheap ass plastic... Noomi Rapace was great and shit...She does great pain acting but the whole jesus/spiritual horseshit I could have done without...not convincing at all, and bringing God into this could have been done in a better way than the cliche 'I have faith'...fuck me.... yawn Overall it was an awesome ride/experience, but too much cheese and too confused...cutting 20 mins would have made a much stronger film and tentacles? please....sooooo cliche..... I loved it and I hated it...my opinion is as confused as the movie...you need to see this, but it has not much rewatch value and is not a classic

@the coming I hear that...I'm with you 90%...I'm glad a number of kids liked it and hope it becomes for them What Alien did for me. I'm a tad gutted. Hoping my Son likes it tomorrow though. No doubt we'll have a good talk about it afterwards. It's good to have shared experiences and opinions.
