Quite liked the film for what it is, although it felt rushed and the plot has big holes.

The ship reminds me of an upgraded, bigger Serenity.

There was too much cutting from one set of characters to another without explanations. Not enough use of some characters. As I said it generally has a rushed feel.

Suppose I will have to wait for the super extended directors cut to fill in the gaps.

The scriptwriter had David, the robot, read the Alien Engineers' language. David even spoke it and the Engineer obviously comprehended, but the scriptwriter could not think of even one word for the Engineer to say. Maybe the Engineer speaks in the Director's extended cut? Or was it a failure of imagination to leave the Engineer a dumb beast?

Hey Pizmo,

Little Big Man...............you're right. Saw the trailer with the TED speech, that was quite good. Why they cut it is beyond me.

The lost guy messing with the alien snake thing had to be a low point in any Scott movie.... almost expected Benny Hill music to break out!

Even if it has become fashionable in some corners of the film world to pick on him, there is one simple fact that matters: Damon Lindelof is a supremely talented writer with all the promise in the world.

And much more than that, he matters. The meteoric rise of Lost has propelled him into being that rarest of Hollywood birds: a valued screenwriter. What gives that distinction all the more impact is that his writing showcases both personality and style, i.e. The very things that qualify one as having "a voice." We need more writers like him to be honest. And to top it off he seems to be a kind, affable guy. Still, Hulk can't help but worry about the direction his work has been taking lately.

With the ending of Lost and then the one two punch of Cowboys and Aliens and Prometheus, it seems as if the very themes and stylistic choices that initially made him feel so distinct are starting to reach a kind of critical mass. Please understand this isn't some reactionary sentiment of someone just getting bored with what he does. This is about how his stringent devotion to his own interests are actually undoing the coherency and pragmatic function of his work, which can mean only one thing:

Lindelof needs to start growing as a writer... Like, right now.
