The highlight was probably the whole pregnancy/alien with the female lead. She is running around post a ridiculous surgery after having an alien inside her and no one seems to care? One minute there is a team with hazmat suits trying to sterilize her and the next she is running around with a c-section and no one seems to mind.
Maybe I just missed this one but when did they reach all these sweeping conclusions that those superhuman guys wanted to go and destroy earth? Or that they were the creators? Or that the planet they were on was a military base type thing? Maybe I just missed that. And what the hell was with the guy in the beginning? I’m not sure what the point of that was. This is probably one of the biggest head scratching movies (and not in a good way) I’ve ever seen. I’d recommend that you wait for this to go DVD before you see it, but even then it’s not worth your time.
Also the fact that this movie is sitting above a 20%, let alone in the 70’s, on Rotten Tomatoes is truly pathetic. Any faith I once had in that site is almost all gone.

Yeah that part was terrible. I was thinking the same thing, why have they suddenly just stop persuing her -- did she knock them out?
The movie was full of plot holes. I think a lot of people want to like this movie because of its link to Alien, but outside of the visuals the movie was mediocre at best. Definitly not the truly great classic sci-fi flick that people were hoping for.
For all the accolades given to Ridley Scott I've always thought most of his movies were fairly mediocre, even Gladiator.
