snowywolfowlTo sum in up in two words or less? How about "Holy Shit!"... and that was before the automated abdominal surgery scene.*
Now don't get me wrong now. I do love the "Alien" franchise and I truly do enjoy weird, out there sci-fi that makes you think. However I really, really, really can't stand stories where the dramatic action hinges on ridiculously smart people doing ridiculously stupid and idiotic things. So with that in mind If you've ever wondered what a first contact handled by the "Jackass" crew would look like, here's your flick. Otherwise its definitely not going on my "Watch this sci-fi film now, thank me later" list.
*A perfect example of bad decision making distracting from a rather awesome (if understandably gruesome) concept. If you're going to have a fully automated, robotic surgical unit to provide life-saving surgery on a deep space vessel with a co-ed crew then why in God's name would you only have it programmed for male patients? That makes no sense!
