"Ridley Scott entwines the visceral, creatural dread of "Alien" with some of the quasi-mythic grandiosity of "Chariots of the Gods." Once again a vessel lumbers through the galactic void, and a diverse crew must contend with menacing weirdness outside the ship and growing paranoia within it. The Giger alien may still be out there. Something wicked lurks in subterranean tunnels, their walls etched in freaky runes. And hovering over all the scary stuff are some big, metaphysical questions about the origin and ultimate fate of humanity. Scott’s sense of visual scale achieves something like genuine grandeur. The music, by Marc Streitenfeld, soars and rumbles toward cosmic significance." - Adriano

Metacritic score: 65 http://www.metacritic.com/movie... though Roger Ebert (100) says: "A magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers." Aah, those apprentice Engineers. - Adriano
