Absolutely brilliant - or absolute disaster?
Spoiler Warning
Screen Rant has some interesting discussions - particularly the spoilers - and I expect that we'll get spoilers here so if you haven't see it yet, please, please don't join in until you have.
For me I went in expecting to be awed and came out wanting to strangle the screenwriter with his own entrails.

Permalink Reply by Marc Draco on June 16, 2012 at 3:04pm I didn't pick that up from the trailer. Just that there were aliens out that who visited us - which I have to admit, seemed like a bit of weak point, but I was prepared to put that aside.
*sigh*
The entrance fee (about US$16) might be fiddling small change to Ridley, but it's my entire entertainment budget for several weeks; so as you may imagine, I was a little cross.

Permalink Reply by Marc Draco on June 16, 2012 at 5:43pm Yeah, pretty much the same here. I know a lot of critics are either being Scott apologists (though god only knows why) or perhaps wowed by the visual effects.
Beyond those... I'm at a loss.
