don't understand why people moan about... remember Blade Runner also had terrible reviews when it came out.
This is a major budget film, with incredible graphics, some risks are being taken and it has a lot of fantasy... what do people expect?
Remember no Hollywood film will ever surprise you because they cannot take risks when such big budgets are on the table.

I don't think its true that Blade Runner had terrible reviews...anyway its the audience reaction that matters, not the critics.

"However, when it first opened in the US in 1982, things did not bode so well for Blade Runner. The film opened to disappointing box office and almost universally bad reviews. Even star Harrison Ford was quoted at the time as saying "it's a film about whether you can have a meaningful relationship with your toaster."
- well it certainly wasn't a blade runnerfadein11
- I agree Blade Runner is better, but wonder how this will look like 20 years from nowclearThoughts
- You're reaching. Whenever there's controversies people point to initial failures. Clearly this is a solid 7/10biusness

I love the fact that it builds up on the idea that the human race was engineered... which is something far more possible from my point of view than the Darwin theory.
The characters, plot, etc... I didn't care to much. I enjoyed every single minute of it.

- so you dont watch films for plot or characters? that explains a lot about the state of the film industryfadein11
- I'm just not so close minded as to watch a film the way I have been told to watch itclearThoughts
- Love Jodorowski, Lars Von Trier, David Lynch, etc.... sometimes you can say a lot visuallyclearThoughts

"which is something far more possible from my point of view than the Darwin theory"
That humans were engineered by...who? God?
- God is a concept. By 'who' is the whole point. But it can be done.clearThoughts

If we can reach another planet with similar conditions to ours, we could pretty much create life using genetical engineering.... imagine some time ahead from now considering DNA was first discovered in 1869 and the Double Helix structure by Crick later in 1958...

one parasite host for another.

The one thing I do like bout the Alien movies are their intelligence based on predatory survival and bee-like colonization, reproduction and protection of the queen/bee alien. All alien movies project a sense of superior colonization, war-like predatory mentality.
Humans are inferior because they have become week and dependent from their technology and their mental forms of prejudice, sexism and racism have separated themselves from each other/the colony making them easy to defeat.
Makes sense but this movie has been done before...over and over again.
- I think the plotline of Prometheus will hinge on the opposite of "Humans are inferior"Horp
- true in most alien movies the human race comes together only when their direct extinction is in the balance the only time we wouldteh
- bees/ants/aliens live in true communism, have the same mother/queen and are all siblingsdrgs

It is illogical to use humans as a host since they occupy more space and pose more of a threat to the host-environment. They are better off extinguishing the primary parasite threat then use say..squirrels, deer medium to large animals to host the eggs.
If an Alien was smart they would eradicate the humans to save the environment they are depleting and use other species.

Im also wondering about say a real Matrix. Would it be better for AI to keep us alive for our energy we give off or jsut use say squirrels, deer dogs cats etc? It doesn't make sense to keep the primary threat alive.
Does anyone know how many squirrels it would take to equal human body electricity so A.I. could function?

The characters are all hateful - even David (I really can't see how people think this character is so good). The script is weak. The plot is dull. Really disappointed
