Just saw it today and it was worth the wait. Awesome.

I will not supply any spoilers, but I will say the trailers shown do not totally relate to the film.

It is one of those films (something expected of Ridley Scott) that will make you watch it over and over again.  I find myself watching Blade Runner and seeing something new every time.

The same can be said for this film.  There is too much going on for you to take it all in, which means you will most likely have to go to another screening to get the full benefit.

The general consensus is that the film is a 6 out of 10.  I give it more like 8.5 out of 10.  If not 10 out of 10 if there is a Director cut.

What I found most interesting was that even though the film is set in the future, some things never change.

I saw in standard 2D, as find 3D is too distracting and expensive.  

Find a good cinema with excellent sound, IMAX would be a good idea, as the visuals are amazing.  :applaud:

The ending is excellent!

#1 Like still using machine guns and wearing huge air tanks on their space suits?  :laugh2:

#2 Or Imax 3D? Its better than 3D or Imax.

I won't see it though. Its like when I go to the theater when the Avengers is there I would not see anything else.
It will not do as well as it could because of that.

I saw it last night. 4/5 from me. Really beautiful but lacks the grit that makes it feel extraordinary. Fine acting from everyone, although IMHO, some characters are lifted from any generic sci-fi movie. Also, why is it that when any spaceship about to land on an uncharted planet (or moon in this case) always land exactly where there's something going on? When you've seen the whole film, you can ask yourself how different it would have ended if they had landed at another part of that moon...

That's funny. I find director's cuts to be almost universally inferior to the theatrical release. Almost without fail the material that ended up on the cutting room floor ended up there for a good reason. And I don't know, perhaps the director is too emotionally attached to the material to make dispassionate decisions about whether it really ought to be resurrected. In any case, deleted scenes pretty much invariably fit poorly with the rest of the movie for one reason or another, or at the very least they are superfluous, adding nothing but length. The Han Solo-Jabba the Hut scene in the Star Wars re-releases is a prime example.

As an aside, the same applies to books. Oftentimes famous authors will release an "author's edition" for a 20-year anniversary or something. It'll be an early work from before the author was famous, when the author had no say over the editor. The new version is always inferior.
