Finally saw it. I was fired up and ready to go the evening before the premiere but then I got tempted into reading some spoilers...and I thought Ridley has lost his mind. Some ideas, like , of course, David creating the alien we all know, and David being the main villain revolted me so much I decided to pass till the bluray comes out, which for me for the most of my life as a diehard Alien fan would be unthinkable. But then I thought well, ok, some ideas sound incredibly stupid but they may be executed really well so lets give it a chance, and I finally saw it yesterday.
Certainly , having expectations set as low as they can possibly be, its almost impossible to be disappointed. I loved the beginning, really good, hard hitting, ballsy and strong opening. Since nobody cares about others' reviews and most people dont read them anyway, all Ill say is that I was pleasantly surprised and thought it was a good movie. One thing I truly miss these days is the expressionist lighting and imagery that were present in the first two movies, and of course, the cg was laughably bad, but its ok, ill give it a pass cause the movie had quite a grim punch
