I liked it.Apparently, according to a lot of sources, I'm wrong.

I did enjoy it, apart from the bit where I was thinking "Duhhh, run the *other* way"

Yea I like how she fell over and simply rolled out of the way after running away from it for 2 minutes.

^ThisQuite liked it, though didn't understand why 'Mike' had to spend his entire time in wrinkles. Also thought that they found the dead alien in the captain's chair in the first Alien film... not in an escape pod. Or maybe there's some excuse for that.

I think it's probably covered off by the fact that there were 'other ships'. Like the one they left on at the end.There's a really good bit with Mike out of Neighbours doing a seminar as a young man in the DVD extra bits. Which kind of makes more sense of him being wrinkly later.

I wondered if they were going to do some 'young' scenes... or maybe make a pre-prequel later onI like that get-out, so that they can make the prequel plot more exciting and less predictable. I'll use it next time. "Oh yeah, it was another moon where an identical ship crashed in a similar landscape and the crew died in strikingly similar ways. Honest."

The extras are worth watching.The Weyland speech is great, although a few of the other videos are just arty bollocks.
