1265834 2012-06-11 20:01:00 Having read the reviews I've gone off it a bit now. Seems like the first hour is good then it goes downhill. pctek (84)
1265835 2012-06-12 00:06:00 Im going because of the bad reviews.
Fan reviews are logical saying it makes sense the way it is filmed and the ambiguity of some of the scenes etc
Certainly has had a fair debate about it which is a good sign I guess.

1265836 2012-06-12 00:09:00 Yeah we have mixed reviews here at the office, some loved it some hated it..... most that hated it analyse movies too much imo
I will wait for the bluray version

1265837 2012-06-12 02:08:00 To me movies are meant to be fun, analysing them and picking holes in them ruins the fun. It's not reality and it's not meant to be, just sit back and enjoy the ride and accept that story tellers don't always get it completely right and you'll be a lot happier.
I always thought movie critic reviews were more about congratulating themselves on their own intelligence rather than any actual useful feedback on a movie.

My take, if you like Sci-Fi movies and enjoyed the first two Alien movies there's a very good chance you'll like this too. I certainly did.

1265838 2012-06-12 05:11:00 Quite agree with your first sentence dugimodo. And the ones who say it wasn't like the book.

1265839 2012-06-12 05:18:00 Haven't seen it yet, apparently there are a few gaping holes in the plot, but there's enough good stuff to outweigh that. I enjoyed the rest of the Alien series. wratterus (105)
1265840 2012-06-12 05:19:00 I've seen mixed reviews - Kate Roger on TV3 liked it with a couple of reservations, the guy in the Listener didn't. It will be good to get more feedback. Tony (4941)

Thats OK Trev. I can use my Gold card for ID if needed.

1265842 2012-06-12 08:11:00 It wasn't too bad. The opening may get some. The plot seems similar to a lot of other sci fi.

Plot holes galore. Like the end for example.

Still, nothing like seeing Charlize Theron in a skin tight suit in what looks like a cold day... :drool
