I think too, that any sufficiently advanced civilisation would send to Earth many different crafts of all shapes and forms, after all, we can send up everything from Spitfires to F35's, why do we pick at an Alien movie that shows something different from the original concept?
The spacecraft ok but, what was the reason he drank that thing? Self sacrifice, mistake, part of a plan?

And since we know much latter that they had masses of that thing and what they intended to use it for...

SPOILER ALERT...





It shows the birth of the speices on earth, hence the line "sometimes, in order to create something, you must first destroy..."

END SPOILER ALERT...

Saw it on the opening night too...and whilst I would recommend it to others as a good film, I was a little dissappointed, and to be honest would have preferred there to be no link to the Alien series at all.

I understood what the 'creators' were trying to do, but just didn't care for any of the human characters, whether they lived or died...and what the captain of the ship did at the end, based on what she said (I mean, really???) and other completely un-rational decisions.

Defo worth a watch though.

.. so they created life on earth ... only to destroy it later with weird bio-weapons .. oh Boy! these guys ARE human!

BTW, I'm looking for the name of horror movie produced justa few years back. Story line - Man sacrifices some kids to send a house to hell but one escapes. Later the boy is killed in the house, spell is enacted, house and cast (as you'd know it) descends into .. naughty place .. where keeping a light on is the only protection from being eaten alive by wall-crawling demons. Loved it so much i want to buy the Bluray but ...

Help?

Watched this yesterday and really found the entire thing mind-boggling.

This movie opens up so many more questions, it does exactly what a Prequel should do. I am already awaiting the sequels in hope of having more questions answered.

Indeed, not a true horror movie like the original Alien, but more a pure science fiction movie, with really fascinating, great questions being brought to our very existance. Are we created by another species? Why? Who created them? Why did they want to destroy us?

This movie has really started some heated debates and discussions and I think this is exactly what Ridley Scott wanted. I don't care much about the characters, most were cannon fodder anyways. Fassbender really stood out as a great actor as the android David and Noomi played a very convincing role. The med-pod scene was just fantastic.

Either way, this is a big one and I hope they'll prove it by giving more answers AND questions in the sequels!

I saw it in 3d, the second movie I have seen in 3d (first was Tintin). I thought it was quite good because it was not the main focus of the cinematography, it was kind of in the background rather than having shots made to wow the audience in 3d which I personally prefer. I think the film would work equally as well in 2d though.

Its certainly the best 3D I've ever seen.

Heard it took 50 million in the first weekend of its US release and that's a pretty healthy take in the current global financial climate so we probably will see a sequel to this prequel of sorts in time

For sure its got everyone talking, I don't think Ridley likes crystal clear films, he likes folk to come away thinking about what they have just seen, but in saying that we'll probably get more answers in the inevitable Dir cut?

I'd advise anyone going to see it to forget about Alien/Aliens and imagine this is a separate entity perhaps in a parallel universe.
