My understanding is that if you watch all of the promos you've pretty much had it spoiled for you.
Some I guess
Thanks, Obama!

Oh yeah. It's one of my top 10 favorite movies. The best pacing and atmosphere...ever? Maybe ever.
Have you ever written about it? Or done a pod about it?
I have not
I mean, I'm not telling you what to do. But I'd totes read your in-depth review/thoughts/breakdown of that film. Just saying.
lv, do a pod. chud would make a great guest.

Probably the dumbest crew of any of the previous movies in the franchise. At one point the audience laughed like it was a comedy at an incredibly stupid decision one of them made.
The alien clearly seemed to be trolling during one of the kills towards the end and that got a few chuckles out of the audience as well.

The entire series is built around people making the dumbest decisions they possibly could

Saw it yesterday...i have a feeling people that hated Prometheus will hate this one too. It looks awesome, its fuckin dark as fuck, and even when it seems a little ny the numbers with a lot of things, i loved it.

When Fassbender asked 'who created you?' at the beginning some guy in the theater yelled out 'JESUS CHRIST!!'. It kind of summed up the night really.

I really enjoyed this movie. It's dumb like Prometheus, but the whole thing is amped up to 11. It's just balls-to-the-wall insanity from beginning to end. Gory as hell, thematically absurd, completely over-the-top, visually/atmospherically garish, just generally bonkers. I can't wait for the next one.

That sounds almost like gonzo self-parody, in which case: in.

- It was fun but there were a few issues I had with it too. The last third of the movie seemed rushed to me and while it is visually great overall there were a few spots where I thought the cgi looked like shit. I really don't know how the story will end up with all the eggs in the crashed ship at the beginning on Alien in a clean way that makes any sense given the way things have unfolded to this point. Scott is what? 80 Might need some fresh ideas from someone else.

I think the shitty CGI matched the silly, gonzo tone. I was into it. I really can't stress enough how insane and ridiculous this movie is.

But it was intermittent and that made it a little jarring to me, like when the alien went down the ladder on the ship or when those weird dog like alien things were running around the field.
