God damn so many things just popped in my head right now. I need to see this movie again next weekend.
I'm not quite understanding why the Engineers left markings on Earth leading them to LV-223, if it was just some kind of military instillation. |

I don't really think it's important. It's just a plot device. Ridley Scott makes movies where every little detail isn't fully explained.

I mean, it's not like the characters in Alien didn't do dumb things that ended up getting them killed.

Every character in the movie was an idiot, apart from the Android.

Just got back from seeing it. Liked it a lot, but ... it was far from great, for many reasons keg listed.
Visually outstanding -- one of the best FX films I've ever seen. The 3D was terrific and worth the money (for a change). It also stimulated a lot of discussion between me and my son about the different strands of DNA in humans, aliens and xenomorphs. However, I felt like the movie needed to be 30 minutes longer to slow down and fill in a lot of backstory on the characters, to let them develop and explain their later actions -- especially, I felt, with the captain and Vickers. I thought Guy Pearce as Weyland was a complete waste. Anybody could've played that role. I wonder how much was left on the editing room floor. Perhaps it would benefit from a nice director's cut blu-ray. Or maybe it was just poorly written. |

here's a good article, a guy walks through all the recurring symbols in the movie...really helped me make sense of it after the fact.

I thought it was excellent, even with all the ?'s and wtf moments...the world was so realized I was happy just to witness/experience it. Worth the 3D. Worth my $$. And Fassbender may be the best male actor working right now.
