Really?
The trailer looked appallingly bad and unfunny. I'll admit I never really watched the original stuff (more of a Marx Brothers fan) and I can understand that if you're a fan then you will probably see it at some point but a 'must-see' movie?

Really good article. Thanks for posting. The movie was riveting. Great storytelling's and beautiful to look at. Not a masterpiece just chapter 1 of it.

Pretty pictures are not enough to make a good movie. It all hinges on the script. Without a coherent one everything else falls apart. Since almost everyone has said that the script is lacking, there shouldn't be any reason to try to work around that. It's a bad movie, plain and simple. As I said in my review, I'm more disappointed than anyone. I had high hopes for it but I won't waste any more time on it, and now it's time to start looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises.

Such as, Sex is evil, good christian girls are saved, and skanky girls are eaten by their own hideous god-forsaken offspring?

I think the God punishes sinners message is great for horror movies. It makes the audience anxious.

I guess that could be interesting, though I don't really see any reason why the Engineer has to be portrayed as benevolent and given benevolent justifications when his actions obviously aren't. Just creates more logic problems.

Engineer is pretty much evil, or has a sense of morality we don't understand that still basically means evil.

"Scott was born in the coastal town of South Shields,[3] England, the son of Elizabeth and Colonel Francis Percy Scott.[4] He was raised in an Army family, meaning that for most of his early life, his father — an officer in the Royal Engineers — was absent. Scott received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in honor of his substantial contribution to the British film industry. He received his honor at London's Buckingham Palace on 8 July 2003. Scott admitted feeling "stunned and truly humbled" after the ceremony, saying, "As a boy growing up in South Shields (north-east England), I could never have imagined that I would receive such a special recognition."

"I do despair. That's a heavy word, but picking up a newspaper every day, how can you not despair at what's happening in the world, and how we're represented as human beings? The disappointments and corruption are dismaying at every level. And the biggest source of evil is of course religion. Everyone is tearing each other apart in the name of their personal god. And the irony is, by definition, they're probably worshiping the same god. I've got something else in the works. I'm already doing it. It's called Moses. Seriously, seriously. It's going to happen. I probably shouldn't have let that slip out. I'm not supposed to say anything [or I'll get smote by a bolt oflightning]."

The original ALIEN was SATAN in Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan

"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. This is the great dragon of chapter 12, Satan or Azazel. He has a number of names, but in each case, he is the king of all the demons, Lucifer, who became Satan."
-Revelation 9:11, Christian Bible, KJV with Forerunner Commentary

"The Moon is a bright gamma-ray source. The Moon is brighter than the Sun in gamma rays. The Moon is exposed to cosmic rays and solar flares. When cosmic rays hit the ground, they produce a dangerous spray of secondary particles right at your feet, and trigger little nuclear reactions that release more radiation in the form of neutrons. The lunar surface itself is radioactive!"

"One giant blunder for mankind: how NASA lost moon pictures. Originally stored at Goddard, the tapes were moved in 1970 to the US National Archives. No one knows why, but in 1984 about 700 boxes of space flight tapes there were returned to Goddard. 'We have the documents to say they were withdrawn, but no one knows exactly where they went,' SAID John Sarkissian, a CSIRO scientist stationed at Parkes radi otelescope. Many people involved had retired or died. Also among tapes feared missing are the original recordings of the other five Apollo moon landings."
