Plain horrible. Seems like a terribly wasted idea that proposed rather original concept of aliens. While special effects team did their best and action sequences are mildly above mediocre, every word spoken throughout the film makes me want to rip the script apart and set the pieces on fire. The fact that it was written by Jon Spaihts rises concerns about otherwise greatly anticipated 'Prometheus'.

A couple of neat ideas, but shallow characters and silly situations ultimately undo it. What is Hirsch doing in this?
