So, just came from seeing this and while I'd give Prometheus a solid 7/10, I'd give this a 6/10. I am going to go into more detail on this weekend's podcast, but I'll sum it up here.
Positives:
Spoiler...
-I think David as a psychotic android hell bent on being a creator is an awesome concept
-The backstory is very interesting
-Michael Fassbender stole the show
-Xenomorph egg scene
-Walter and David scenes
Negatives:
Spoiler...
-The CGI was rough to watch
-Xenomorph moves way too quickly. It's no longer that tense slow burning alien we get in the classic films
-Chestburster scene was a little odd and once again, too much CGI
-Theater experience was way too dark. Movie takes place at night time, so 90% of the movie I could barely tell what was going on
-Too many characters that have 0 personality
-The dialogue was very mediocre
-While I love the backstory, I also think it's a little overly complicated and sometimes a bit hard to follow (if that makes any sense)
:whew:
