In a nutshell.... fucking incredible.
No spoilers, of course....but I'll just say - it bridges the difference in ambition/tone between Alien and Prometheus brilliantly, as it's a horror film but also quite high-minded. It looks freakin' amazing. Cast are superb across the board, with huge nod to Fassbender for his work. And as for the score - well, I'll let you discover for yourself.....plus this motherfucker is hecka scary guys!
I bloody loved every minute of it, and would have happily sat through a second screening straight away. It's really that good. And for my money, as someone who actually enjoys Prometheus quite a bit (despite some terrible character writing...) I actually think that it makes the previous film even better for me in retrospect.
Plus there's a fantastic little Blade Runner easter egg which made me laugh out loud/smile a lot, its done so well.
Ridley, you beautiful bastard. Two thumbs way the fuck up!
