  • It's very pretty. Plot left me with many questions. Finally getting to read this thread was interesting.
    Touch it. Touch my fuzziness! It's like petting a kitten!

    • Just got back from seeing it.

      It's the IDIOT PLOT all over again: the only reason that you get from plot point A to plot point B is because everyone acts like an idiot.

      I love the fact that this film tried to create a mythology. I admire what it strived to do in that regard. Still, apparently the genesis of the 'alien' is as follows:

      1. Black goo that Engineers created as a weapon of mass destruction. Creates worms under certain circumstances that do something
      2. Infect the guy with the goo. Have him fuck the infertile woman.
      3. Have her give birth (via caesarian sections) to a squid thing
      4. Have the squid thing act as a prototype face-hugger on an Engineer.
      5. Bam: prototype alien bursts from the Engineer.

      THAT is the mythology that you're going to put forth? Did they honestly write that up and go 'yeah, that sounds good. Go with it.'????? Did they not step back even once and go 'wait a minute, have you honestly thought this through???'

      The script reads like a first draft spec script written over a weekend. It definitely needed a heavy polishing from somebody with a functional brain.

      That being said, I kinda enjoyed the film. The visuals and the acting were strong enough to keep me engaged in the material (such as it was) and there were many definite WOW moments courtesy of the special effects. It's worth seeing on the big screen, and the 3D was quite good.

      • I was totally absorbed for the first 45 or so minutes, then Matt's aforementioned stupidity kicks in and it lost me. Still, very glad we saw it in imax 3d.

        • Agreed with Nathan: it's great until Dumb and Dumber get lost in the igloo. From that point on, it's strictly IDIOT MODE and it never stops until the credits roll.

                      I was supposed to on Friday, then on Saturday, but on both days plans went to shit. I'm hoping to go this weekend, although from what I'm hearing, I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait for the DVD.

                      Wound up watching a bootleg of Piranha 3DD, and am still recovering from that mistake.

                        • See it theatrically, in Imax if possible. It's a visual feast that is second to none...just be prepared to have your brain exit your head and start slapping you silly.

                            • Imax at the zoo, 3D, came to $16.50 a ticket. Visually, i honestly have to say that i got my money's worth. It was amazing and completely immersive.
