First, let me tell you that I really don't like 3d in movies. And like every movie that I saw in 3d, I thought that it worked only during the first ten minutes. after that, you don't really notice it's in 3d anymore.
But the first ten minutes are gorgeous. The landscapes are amazing, and during these first scenes, the 3d is vertiginous.
The whole movie is visually stunning. Saying it's really well shot doesn't do it justice. It's Scott at his best in the visual department.
There wasn't a lot of action scenes, but they were really great.
But I was disappointed by the story. Being a Lindelof fan, I can'(t help but think he wrote something really average. There are no surprises, and no twists. It's all really predictable, and the story is not really engaging.
The cast was underused, with maybe the exception of Fassbender (but there isn't enough of him, and his character is not well used) and Rapace, who does a fine job. Theron, Elba, and Pearce are barely in it. They are really wasted. You can't really relate to any character, which is a pity.
I would say that the punchline of the movie perfectly summarize the story. There is nothing more and nothing less. Also, you won't see a lot more than what you see in the trailers (bear in mind that I only watched the trailers. I didn't watch any tv spot, nor did I read any spoilers or reviews).
I think I have to watch it again, because I was tired when I saw it. I really liked it, but I wanted to love it, which I couldn't, because of a story which wasn't engaging enough to me.
