    Pointless characters, disjointed, some bad scenes... but it had amazing visuals and amazing ideas. Really felt at times like yeah, this is what it'd be like to face a superior alien race. SPOILER: When that engineer wakes up and smashes apart the humans, he has this foreign alien look on his face, really unsettling... equivalent of a dog trying to understand a human as it's kicked to death.

    Anyway... why did they edit out that moment where rooney grasps her hands infront of the mirror (was in the trailer)? Such an iconic character & visual moment and it's not even in the film. Bizarre.

    Overall they needed to tighten the script and strip back some of the plot threads. Too many mutant beast things happening as well. Worms, zombies, viruses, snakes, tenticle creatures, god-aliens... And yeah, that very last shot / sequence pissed me off, incredibly lame - yet another alien spin-off hybrid monster, leave that too the hack-directors ridley!

    • So..worth seeing or no??ukit2
    • short: Great but critically flawed movie.inteliboy
    • Yes go see it! AMAZING visuals. And it's got cyborg themes, directed by Ridley Scott. It's just a messy script.inteliboy
