It wasn't an action flick. But it needed more talking scenes, yes.
WOW the movie looked amazing.
it was a great movie and it will make part of my blu ray collection.
loved david.
I wish they would have kept most of the deleted scenes. Added a lot to certain characters and Janek all of a sudden explaining to Shaw that they were on a military outpost wouldn't have seem so out of nowhere if they kept his scene with Vickers. The speaking scene with the Engineer made more sense. Just a lot more sense was made all around if the deleted scenes would have been kept in. Now I am really hoping for an extended cut down the line. I want the deleted scenes added in to the film. Makes it much stronger.
Plus, the fight with Shaw and the Engineer added some much needed suspense at the end. The theatrical cut of the final battle just sort of happens without any real emotion.
I like this film a lot, just feel that Ridley made some editing decisions that were kind of jarring. I also really want to read Jonathan Spaihts original draft before Lindeloff got on board. Really would have liked to see the original version of the Shaw-Holloway sex scene discussed in the making of documentary. The creature coming out of his chest mid coitus would have been pretty disturbing.
