The podcast (39 minutes!) at this link raised a lot of the issues I had with the film:

Someone told me Weyland company logos pop up in "Firefly". Apparently after working on "Alien: Resurrection" Whedon decided to hint that they're set in the same universe.

Why didn't the snakes come up on the hounds sensors? I have other questions about the movie but this one has been bugging me.

This is what I love about Ridley Scott...his movies always engage your brain and are great for discussion after the credits end. He's 74 tho. Hope he lives long enough to make at least one more.

Saw this today in IMAX 3D.
Visually it was out ****ing standing. Story wise I have most of the same criticisms listed in the thread already. It just kind of felt incomplete and the characters seemed kind of bland for the most part. I thought it was worth my time, but I didn't like it as much as I expected. |

2nd to Madagascar 3 as expected, but $50 million for a "smart" r-rated science fiction blockbuster? Can't complain about that...

It read to me like somebody trying really hard to fit their own beliefs into the symbology of the film.
In any case, it's certainly interesting to discuss, and that is the strength of the movie, meaning the ideas and what kinds of things are hidden under the surface. I have some ideas I might get into later. But at the end of the day, I just can't get past the structural problems with the movie itself. It's still a good movie, but a lot of nonsense that should've never made it past the draft stage kept it from being a great one. |

Not sure if we're still doing spoilers, so I'm using them just in case...
Spoiler!
Fassbender was fantastic, but overall I thought the movie was only 'good'. Oh, and one more thing...
Spoiler!
