The only appeal was the visuals and, personally, with no Logan Marshal-Green in the sequel I have no interest.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723942609180026589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799149752944152488.post-66489119994739916862012-06-12T11:09:27.413-04:002012-06-12T11:09:27.413-04:00My problem with the film is that it seemed more of...My problem with the film is that it seemed more of a masturbatory stroking of scott's own ego than an actual attempt to make a compelling prequel. Say what you want about George lucas, when he made the star wars prequels he endeavored to make them their own free-standing stories. This movie drags you through thorn bushes of awful pacing and cliched self-reference only to arrive at a foregone conclusion completely unceremoniously. Also, I don't care how much you may or may not like guy pearce, ridley, there are fantastic elderly actors in the world who wouldn't have looked so ridiculous and wouldn't have taken me and many people seated near me completely out of the story simply by coming on screen.

I guess I landed more on the positive side of the fence. We are like Siskel and Ebert, one thumb up (haltingly), and one thumb down (decidedly). By the way, I am also a Bradbury fan from way back as a kid reading Dandelion Wine.

Not a single character I cared about (not even David - some of his lines were nonsensical and the biologist and the geologist were especially ridiculous) and a complete mess of a story full of errors - especially the science and religious nonsense. To cap it all there was no tension as in the 1st film and no heroics as in the second film. For me this is the worst film in the franchise (just behind 3) and sits very close to the Predator v Alien rubbish. All this in the same week that we lost one of our greatest sci-fi storytellers, Ray Bradbury! Horrible film.Scott D. McArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980531291819829082noreply@blogger.com
