topher grace is just as annoying in this as you would expect him to be.
we’re in outer space
getting chased by predators
CSI vacay
this was really kind of great. some people i went with thought it was too cheesy, but i thought it was really fun. sure, a lot of the dialogue was kind of terrible, but then a predator would rip someone’s spine out and yell and it would get awesome again.

I do agree that Topher Grace was really annoying in this movie. I was mixed with it. There were some awesome parts to it like the Mortal Kombat style spine ripping kill, but it dragged along. The script was the biggest problem.
I thought it was pretty damn good. A return to form for the franchise and maybe the start of a new series of films. Brody was good in the lead. Yeah, some fo the dialogue was a bit plain, but the film makes up for it with spirited action, well-constructed shock tactics, great production design, and a score ripped straight from the original.
I’m not a big fan of a lot of modern Hollywood action films, but I thought this was great.
I was also drinking whiskey while I watched it, so that helped.
