Visually it was stunning as you would expect. It wasn't heavily reliant on cg which was refreshing as cg seems to be plastering over the cracks in many films these days. I didn't think the cast bonded as well as in Alien, and I left the cinema not knowing who half the characters were, although that might have something to do with the 3 pints of SanMiguel I had in the pub beforehand. The trick is to view the film as a stand alone, although obviously there is a fair few references to Alien but not in an overt way. I enjoyed it more than I thought as reading on other forums it got pretty mixed reviews and many were left feeling disappointed. I'd guess the majority of you guys will love it though.
