Thoughts? I liked it but thought it missed out on using Danny Mcbride's humor. He woulda been hilarious running around and cussing at the Alien but they didn't really do that at all. Also didn't like that they made the twist at the end obvious thirty minutes before it happened but the movie is very good imo and Fassbender should be up for some awards for his performance. This movie is not for the casual fan that doesn't really know the storyline and I love that Ridley Scott didn't cater to the masses this way. The cinematography in this movie is beautiful and they kept all the creepy music/sounds that are synonymous with Alien movies.

I was hoping for something that picked up where Prometheus left off. The lone survivor of the Prometheus and the decapitated android were supposedly going off to visit the home world of the engineers. I take it that this movie doesn't expand that plot at all, right?

I saw it. Horribly predictable. Lacking in suspense.

I kinda think it does. I haven't seen it yet, but I have read up on the premise.

I've seen the movie and it isn't that good. It does pick up with Prometheus. Like the guy said, really predictable. I was disappointed in it.

More than half the movie is tying in or relating to Prometheus ten years after Shaw leaves in the alien ship. Prometheus is all over this movie.
