BEWARE - UNBOXED SPOILERS IN THREAD.
Maybe if it were directed by Stephen Spielberg instead of Ridley Scott. Or possibly Michael Bay if those aliens turned into cars and trucks and blew everything up.
With Scott directing, I assume it will be an awesome sci-fi classic…or it will be Prometheus.
If Chris Nolan were directing, I would bet that Damon goes insane and tries to kill Matt McConaughey.
I’ve seen it - no aliens
That makes me very angry. Very angry indeed.
Is there at least an Earth-shattering kaboom?
two, actually
I have nothing to add to this thread . . . except to say that I’ve seen it (in 3D) and loved it.
OP ANSWERED : The movie was a smash success. Can’t really say what the odds of it being a success were, given it’s only one data point, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. I mean, I knew it was a good story - look how long ago my OP was posted - but actually seeing the same events in 3d was awe inspiring.
According to IMDBit’s the 139th best movie ever made.
