Anyone notice how different all these reviews are with the exception pf fassbender/rapace stealing the show. Im sarting to get the impression it left them all thinking "what the fu^k"? Still cant wait.

@Craigamore I read an entire play-by-play of the film on the AVP boards, it sounds like the plot is garbage. And BECAUSE it is a movie and I am paying money to see it I do get to feel like I am entitled to something. It is called capitalism, the customer gets to have some expectations of the what product will be. Don't blame me, blame the marketing department at Fox which made this film seem like it will give us answers to big questions when it gives us NONE...about anything. From the way the crew members die to the complete absence of the Engineers communicating in any way, this movie seems more like Jason X (Jason in space) than Blade Runner. It is just a slasher movie set on an Alien planet complete with a silent hulking brute attacking people without any explanation and jump scares.

Pfff Drake how you can be so sure without having saw the movie ?? I did read EVERYTHING and i can have some bad feelings or good ones BUT i will have my final virdict only at the end of my first view . Screaming on the floor " It suckkkkk" before viewing the movie is silly !

@ Frantz I am still going to go see the film, it does not mean that I am not permitted to voice my disappointment. I didn't jump down the throats of people who read the negative reviews and said, "this movie is going to be amazing!"

@Drakeequation I guess the advantage of you being disapointed means you have lowered the expectations, which means when you see the movie their is a chance you may leave more suprised and its not as bad as you may have worried. Compared to if someone was still really really hyped up and never been on any sites like this.... they may find the movie falls way below their expectations. I am going to have to go in hidding for a few days as its only about 40 odd ours to go for me...
