What it is:
An epic movie
Too fast
CGI fest
Blockbuster
Best SCI-FI movie in a while
It is not:
Dark
Scary
Gritty
Bad
i have see reviews, panning the cast and story but i think most of these have it wrong. i understand why you need to view it twice.
The highlights
Fassbender (he is amazing)
plot twists
CGI
Monsters
Idris Elba
Sean Harris
The let downs:
The way it jumps from scene to scene
its so fast, blink and you'll miss it!
some of the acting
some of characters lack of back ground
Giant Star fish proto hugger thingymigger
if something is falling on top of you...why run in the direction its falling?
The Film is EXACTLY as people have named it, a summer blockbuster. It lacks the Horror of Alien, because the psychology isn't there, you don't feel for any one if they die and they dies pretty quick and in bright visuals. The film is so fast you cant really build up any suspense, and you can lose track of it , BUT there is plenty of good story, and Noomi pulls off a convincing heroin.
This movie was made for the masses, you can disagree with me if u like, but it is simply because there is no rooms for a In-depth or powerful story line in cinema atm, These films don't really get people into the cinema any more as most people just don't have the attention span for a deep story (which I think this film has and needed to be brought fourth)
The movie is not Alien, and will never be it. Its never going to be as scary, or dark. but what it is, is something very very special that could of been even more, it is a thriller movie with a SCI -FI world. the sequel will fill the the gaps we need.
