Anyone also seen this ?
I am hoping when released on DVD their will be a directors cut , as this could explain lack of character building. apart from some daft scenes it was a good movie.

I had no idea this was already out, afaik this is supposed to be the Aliens prequel, that franchise went down hill after the second one, the trailers for promethus looked promising, except for the space costumes

Bah movie fails. I watch it before i hit the bed this morning.
It's slow, boring, barely any action, characters are dull and shallow - you don't really care if they die (in fact i was even relieved for some of them as they where to stereotypic and boring..), tons of inconsistency with alien sequel, bunch of failed attempts with side stories that are usually left unexplained and make you wonder what's the point of them, aliens are just weak with barely any screen time etc.. I guess Ridley tried to explain how aliens came to be, but for that you don't need hour and a half of cgi packed with 15 mins all together of action.
It does leave the doors open for sequel where all the lose tieds could be sorted but imho, it would just be another boring movie with CGI flashing and no real explanation. Only thing that this movie succeeded was to spark some interest into jockey's alien race, other then that it pretty much failed on all other points.
Tbh, it's watchable but don't expect much. I suggest to wait for dvd release or something as it's not worthwhile paying for it in cinemas. If you want to go and watch smth in cinema I suggest avengers or battleship - both of them are 1000 times better, corny but at least funny and packed with action.

Well I saw it today, in 3D no less and I agree with you... it's not a bad movie, but i dont think its a good aliens movie... when we left the cinema we spent like an hour just saying "why this...? and why did he...?"
Then my friend told me its from the same writer as LOST, no shit...
