Saw it last night at premiere event. Overall, a very good movie for both Alien/Aliens fans and ppl that know nothing of the "alien universe". I put that in quotes because it's really not a prequel.
Edit: took out some stuff that may tip off too much info.. Last edited by Aspengc8; 06-07-2012 at 09:45 AM.. |

I've seen enough "awesome visuals/shitty script" comments scanning reviews to concern me a little. Still seeing it this weekend, though, of course.

Tested my IMAX version last night. Only got to see a few scenes (the beginning, a gruesome medical scene around 3/4s of the way through, and the last 15 minutes). Seemed to be exactly what I expected from what I've heard: thoughtful, cinematically gripping, probably confusing for most non sci-fi/"Alien" fans. Not a horror film, not a suspense film per se. Very Ridley Scott. I think most people here will like it, but most "normals" won't like it or get it.

Because they are/were expecting this to be the prequel to Alien.. which it is clearly not. I went in not expecting a direct prequel but rather something that gives us a little background info about the Space Jockey/Engineer race. In that respect, the movie delivers.

I'm seeing it tomorrow night and I don't give a damn what anybody has said about it thus far. I've been excited to see this all year, and I don't want people to spoil my fun.

This midnight showing is crawling with nerds. I'm pretty sure that the girl with the dragon tattoo is sitting a couple rows in front of me.
