Who else is pumped to see this? Its been a long time coming and based on what ive seen so far i think its gonna be a sure winner.

Put aside the fact that its compeltely revolutionary on a technical level, and the director is the same guy who created some of the richest and most groundbreaking sci-fi / action blockbusters of the 80's and 90's, the fact that this is a completely ORIGINAL idea is something to admire. It isnt based on a book, or a game, or a remake or anything that already has a cult following thereby ensuring it will have some wider appeal, its a brand new idea about a brand new world. I think it takes guts to do that these days.

plus the alien chicks look smokin

I saw it tonight .. I must say I was impressed, but then again I went in with not really any expectations because I havent been following the hype that much.



**Spoilers if you continue reading.**


I thought it was a bit predictable in some ways ... the whole sam worthington guy being disliked by the elder warrior dude of the tribe yet him finally finding respect for him at the end was seen a mile away. Likewise as soon as they tried to save sigourney weaver from dying by putting her into a new body, you could see thats how sam worthington's character was going to end the movie. Plot wise they could have made it a lot more interesting .. maybe by not so clearly painting one side as good and one side as evil .. maybe creating a story where you could easily see the perspective of either side ... it hammered the whole "white man take black people land" metaphore thing a bit too hard. I'd love to see michelle rodriguez play a role for once where she isn't the tough ass kicking chick .. mostly because I find her pretty hot, but im affraid to think that she's hot lest she busts through my bedroom window when im sleeping and kill me in my sleep.

It looked amazing visually ... can't deny that .. the world they created made me want it to be real so bad. And part of making it so beautiful did help enhance the general dude as such a good bad guy for wanting to destroy it without care because it's a place you'd want to fight to save.
