I can see how people didn't like it,...Thanks. <br /><br />I can see how people didn't like it, but I can't discount the way I was blown away by it. I've been called "a critic" because of my discerning nature, but when a film changes my cynical mind I acknowledge it. I think it's one of the best I've seen all year and I've seen A LOT.Dankwa Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272078872689933851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102445642857606348.post-24636721786160581392012-06-18T00:39:37.744-04:002012-06-18T00:39:37.744-04:00Very great to look at and features a spot-on direc...Very great to look at and features a spot-on direction from Scott, but it seems like there was too many missed opportunities for this flick to be great. Instead, it just went for ok and that’s what bummed me out. Still, can’t say I didn’t enjoy myself.

I think Lindelof's explanation was on point because like I said I think they answered everything I wanted to know and left a lot open to interpretation and I'm fine with that. <br /><br />I think the explanation of the weapons were supposed to be accepted by us as the audience and I did. I read some who questioned how Janek knew all this, but they explained that he was a world weary man and he knew such things. In the great scheme of things I was fine with that.Dankwa Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272078872689933851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102445642857606348.post-35254247371306883762012-06-11T15:50:45.946-04:002012-06-11T15:50:45.946-04:00I think you nailed it when you quoted Lindelof'...I think you nailed it when you quoted Lindelof's statment about the answers being up to the viewer. That is genius and to me, the true intention of art in whatever form. Your description was great and I saw the same things you did. The funny thing for me (being a "question everything" kind of guy) is the idea that the ship was a bioweapon ship. I wondered about whether that was supposed to be accepted by us as the audience, or whether it was the speculation of the crew and should I wonder whether they really knew that or not. Thanks for sending me the link, with your permission I am going to share it on Facebook. Another friend of mine does similar reviews and I'm going to ask for his take too: <br /><br />http://www.bloglikeme2007.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Chuck <br />Los AngelesTonkaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493762302431039318noreply@blogger.com
