What I Think

• Pro's

- Interesting Postmodern princess tale.

- Great third act and how it tied everything together.

- Great scenic moments. It looked like someone grabbed an IMAX camera and shot Scotland on a helicopter.

- Great movie about importance on family. A first from Disney. An interesting movie about a mother daughter relationship.

• Con's

- Slow second act.

- Not much on the table. Very small scale for a Pixar movie.

- Can get preachy at times.

- Some dialogue is awkward.

- Some awkward moments that were from the trailers.

- They follow the concept of the smart main character and everyone else incompetent.

What I Think

• Pro's

- Wonderful cinematography, shot digitally and in 3D without destroying the integrity of the movie.

- Great performance from Michael Fassbender as David.

- Nice horror movie, gruesome, suspenseful, infection type horror, unpredictable horror. Also the combination of an epic science-fiction movie with the horror genre.

- Doesn't need the Alien franchise and can be a standalone movie. It's self-sufficient, unlike AvP.

- Fascinating mythology of the movie

- nice music

- We engaged in discussions after watching the movie.

• Con's

- There are some confusing moments and questionable moments. Was that intended. There is a difference between ambiguity of science-fiction (the room with the giant head) and the confusing moments that seem like plot holes (David's motives).
