Tell me about those plotholes people. Because freaky scary aliens with grabby hands aside, I quite enjoyed this one!

How wooden was everyone? I think the wee boy with the huge cheeks showed more acting skills than the big players!

I saw this for the second time in two nights! Lol. Glutton? B-in-law requested it so I felt obliged. Second row seats in Edinburgh Omni are never the best place to be.

Can't belive I managed to nod off at exactly the same point tonight and missed the same scene. Doubt I missed much.
I purposely scrutinised those clouds tonight and they definitely don't move!

I was going to mention the similarity of those aliens last night but have now been beaten to it!

Not bad for soem light fun though - even though I'm still laughing about the comment of using two tellies simultaneously that was made last night.

I'll give it 6/10 (4 of these are for the boy with the cheeks!)

Got to the cinema really late & was very lucky to be ushered upstairs into the premier seats in the superscreen balcony of the Greenwich O2 cinema. The staff there were really helpful.

I like Cowboy films, I loved most of the Alien series and I love action movies, so all in all I should have loved this.....but I didn't. Too many loopholes & I agree with stuartboy about the acting.
Overall a rather bland and obvious film that didn't hit any of the spots for me.

Being generous I'd give it 5/10 (that's mainly for the good service provided by the staff).
