yeah totally possible.  there's some interesting stuff for sure....I am just as excited to watch this again as I was the first time...and I hope it grows on me more and more.  I felt like the end scene with the "Alien" was a bit of an apology letter at the end...and less of a "teaser" of what's to come.  sort of "this is what you'd thought you'd see but didn't....so here it is"  they could have started adding some of those little ****ers sooner so it felt more natural...and not some crappy "ps....this is coming...although we know you already knew that"  / at that point in the film...who really cares....it's not Avengers or some sh*tty Marvel film where I needed my fanboy Alien shot to feel fulfilled.

again the last 30 minutes to me....they really needed to crank up the intensity...and I just didn't feel like the movie ever got "hopeless" and like...wow these people are really in over their heads...and as the viewer I am feeling like I am in over my head...and I am scared WITH them.

I'd say this too.  The film looked great...but I can't give that extra mileage on this movie.....that kept it at 2.5 stars for me....my original thought was a 2 believe it or not...and again I don't dislike the film...it just didn't have a great story in my eyes.  it was a good story and good execution of it....so it hit dead center for me 2.5.

Hollywood sucks....the best ideas, great talent...and a bunch of f*ckwads in the middle who cut the balls off anything that moves.

I know Ridley is a tough son of a b*tch...but I guarantee studio hands got in on this film and made it more average.

I'd bet the farm on it.
