I didn't appreciate it until the second time I watched it.
There a few casting errors - Raphe Spall and his Scottish mate, but other than that it's a great film.

Just saw this. Looks promising. As long as Lindelof isn't involved it should be alright.
Can't wait.

It was terrible IMO, massively boring.

Pair of them were just badly written. Wouldn't blame casting tbh.
Might be that the Aliens are actually a bit part player, and this is more focused on the engineers and their seeming desire to destroy humanity. I think there is going to be more to it than just the Alien romping through the crew.It might not take a genius but it takes someone with good eyesight to read that when they're watching it on their phone at 05:30 while getting ready for work.
I'm interested to see how the story progresses but the trailer makes it look like the films going to be:
AN ALIEN!!
EXPLOSIONS!!
We don't even need to wonder what the Alien's going to look like.
I quite enjoyed it. There were a couple of scenes that were ridiculous, like Charlize Theron's character running with the roll, where as Rapace eventually decided to go perpendicular and thus escape the giant donut.
I thought it was well shot, had a good story, and save a few bad choices (that I didn't feel like majorly detracted from the rest of the movie) it was a solid outing for me.

I thought her, Fassbender and Elba were all very good in it. I wasn't as impressed with Noomi Rapace's character though.She was the saving grace for me. Solid number 3 on my list

Very true, do like Fassbender and especially Elba - just the whole film in general never really got going for me, yet the wife loved it and went to watch it again with her friends.
I'd have given it a 6/10.
So there are folk on Reddit who are thinking that this movie might have a bit of 'Halo' (yes the video game) in the plot.
Basically, for those who dont know Halo, you start off fighting aliens, and discover a large ringworld. It soon transpires that the aliens aren't the real threat, but a parasitic entity that is controlled through a hive mind. The previous galactic tenants created the ringworlds as a weapon to destroy this parasite. Although it does it in a unique way, it doesn't kill the parasite, it kills their food....ie, all sentient life.
What if, the engineers created the xenomorphs as a way to kill off a parasite, though the xenomorphs are there to kill everything the parasite could infect.
It is a strong theory, and I reckon it might have a bit of traction. I have paraphrased a lot of it, so I am sure there are many intricacies that I have left out, but I am at work and don't want to appear like I am doing nothing....(although I am upgrading firmware on some gear, which is a time intensive task, but requires little attention during the process)
