I too felt like we were exploring with the crew but this is the same tone stricken in the first two Alien movies so it didn't feel new to me. Plus, we know what we're waiting to see too. Not that there weren't scary moments. I too consider it a good franchise addition but I felt like what ultimately happens to Rapace is unbelievable and what happens to Theron is unnecessary and punishing. <br /><br />I don't like when filmmakers spell out the answers to us. I like questions but I also like feeling like the person asking the questions knows the answers. I didn't find that Lindelof's demonstrated and true depth, just the illusion of depth made possible by false intrigue.<br /><br />It's a strong film but ultimately for me, somewhat hollow as well.Black Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401179904634647186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17116344.post-40524095916278052362012-06-10T12:41:31.935-04:002012-06-10T12:41:31.935-04:00i actually loved the script and plot here. i didnt...i actually loved the script and plot here. i didnt' find any holes with it, though i do wanna see it again. i love that it asks questions, and doesn't give you all the answers. this makes you feel like you're exploring on the ship with them. i loved that about it. also, agree with the objectifying of the women (byut we were expecting that, right?). also, i think this is a really great addition to the alien franchise. lastly, i think the plot here is as important as the action so i am glad it's not all action but much plot. i was intrigued the whole way through.Candice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.com
