Action packed, two of the worlds best actors, fairly easy story to follow BUT the ending.
What was with that ending? Unless another film is in the works - a film shouldn't EVER finish basically on a cliffhanger. A bad ending can ruin a film HOWEVER the ending in my opinion can be salvaged by some kind of clarification like a sequel. I've seen it a handful of times and I'm still struggling to see where the writers were leaving the story.
Other than the ending I did enjoy it, liked how kind of unique it was especially in a world where there is a million films with Aliens etc it stands out to me.
I would recommend a watch, see how you feel on the ending!

The cheese won me over!
Ok fine it's not the greatest film ever and is not going to win any awards; however, I would put this up there with any popcorn film over the last few years for sure.

The bus scene is hilarious and the script is hokey at times, but if you don't take it too seriously I think it's just fine.

Others had mentioned the CGI being sub par, but it didn't bother me as annoying or stand out as being bad.

Unfortunately, the film did not do well at the US box office, so probably done for good unless rebooted by Disney now that thy own everything.

Maybe Deadpool or the X-Men will show up with Aliens and Planet of the Apes and there will be an all out world challenge! (Doubtful I suppose...)

"Not Alien, which is great, but doesn’t quite hold up, partially because there is a couple of special effects issues. The chest-burster, as originally conceived, just doesn’t work anymore. But Aliens is, in my mind, the perfectly constructed thriller. People forget that it starts off real slow. I mean, there’s like 40 minutes of quiet. And then all of a sudden you can’t leave your seat. It’s beautifully constructed in terms of, every time you think that they’re gonna get some respite, they get a moment to get their stuff together and maybe get out of this, things get worse and yet they somehow keep going. It was one of the most pure moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had. I loved every minute of it and it made me feel lucky to be an audience member. You can’t get around an experience like that."
