    Who's seen it?

    Dubbed the 'Prequel but not really prequel' to Alien, Ridley Scott takes a decent concept of a film, and makes a mess of it. A fun, enjoyable mess to watch, but a mess nonetheless.

    Filled with unnecessary lines and stupid actions, I'll admit that there were some very entertaining scenes every now and then.

    A mess, but worth watching.

    Hmmm I'm not familiar with Alien....

    Is this supposed to be like a scary movie or more along the lines of comedy?

    More like a thriller than a horror, and there are some humorous lines, but I wouldn't say it's a comedy either.

    So you haven't heard of the movie franchise Aliens? Aliens vs. Predator etc?

    I saw it and I really liked it. I thought it was pretty good and I hope they make a second movie of it.

    I heard it was disgustingly gruesome so I did not watch it. I heard there is one part where an alien comes outta a women's stomach or sth like that

    watched it with my boyfriend and I really liked it. Quite interesting, especially the beginning. And the alien race is interesting. I agree it's a bit messy, but entertaining.

    Watched it like a week ago. I liked that everything looked real. It's not that can't of story that you won't believe. Maybe it's true about the future...

    I liked Prometheus but never guessed it was a prequel to Alien... Then again i barely remember Alien anyway.

    I really liked it, but I wouldn't call myself an Alien aficionado or anything. I love anything with mystery, especially things that involve races or cultures that no longer exist. I was sort of reminded of Uru at times (I love that game...).
