You're all a bunch of seriously whiny faggots.

Yeah, but special films do get made. I just wish there were more of them. Actually, I wish more people were smarter, like me and demanded more from their cinema

He jumped from the building to save Rachel after Joker threw her out the window, I suppose he thought that was enough, showman that he was.

Which is gonna be more disappointing? Prometheus or The Dark Knight Rises?

Yes, that is pretty much how opinions work. I also liked The Raid.

But then, how does the Joker get away? Should probably watch it again I guess.

They aren't that complicated really. Inception was... good but a little lacklustre.

In general the story required more thinking that your normal popcorn festival. I'm not saying it was a genius film, I'm saying that it went above the usual 3 act nonsense that is at the kinema nowadays.

Calm down poppet, just skip my posts.

The popcorn I had was shit too.

Stringer Bell and the two pilots deciding to sacrafice themselves for the greater good could've been a film in itself. The last third was all over the place and just a rush of shit. I liked it though. I was hoping for one well thought out film to tie things up, but looks it looks like I'll just have to wait for a sequel. I'm sure we'll get to LV426 someday.

Interesting read that Aaron.

cheers

Doesn't sound like even they know what's going on.

I completely agree. There was so much crap they were talking that didn't really make sense. And the constant interruptions from the scriptwriter were also quite annoying.

Just got home from watching this in 4d. The experience was phenomenal, mostly, though I agree with a lot of the plot issues people have mentioned.

The burst of mist to my face as the Alien popped out of the engineer's stomach was most gratifying.

@15:32 when the ship un-docks from the Nostromo, Dallas' computer screen shows the exact same graphic used in Bladerunner when the spinner takes off. ooooooh.

Yah, it was very illogical.

The more I think about it, the more I think it was a good story told really badly. There were loads of plot holes and the characters were generally 2 dimensional (ironically considering the amount of 3d being rammed in my face) but it kind of all holds together in a creaky and unstable way, I'm sure a director's cut will be forthcoming which will explain away lots of the ambiguity.

Can't believe Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars though. It's an average sci fi film really with too many concessions to mainstream thickery and woo special effects, and I would've thought he'd enjoy tearing it to shreds.

Saw this last night, opening sequence probably the most beautiful I've ever seen. Stunning. Enjoyed it thoroughly and could look past the fact that you feel the hand of the screenwriter at times.

Everyone was a little too keen to touch foreign goo though.

Also +1 for casting Errol
