I finally saw this movie and was pretty impressed with it. Some of my friends hated it though, so what's the consensus on here about it?

Wasn't terrible but didn't come close to living up to the hype

Wasn't really impressed the first time. Liked it better the second time.

First: I think it helps to like the earlier Alien movies (1 & 2) or at least know something about them to understand some of the plot.
As a stand-alone movie it was a solid movie. It freaked out Ms. Nimble for sure, but left a person with a bunch of loose ends to figure out.
As a precursor to Alien- it was running uphill and into the wind during a snowstorm with regards to expectations.

Overall I judged it to be a good movie, but well short of great.
There were plenty of things to like; just a many things to dislike.
It is a well produced Sci-fi movie with good CGI. The big budget gave us a well polished film. For the genre, we don't get very many of these types of movies each year. It helps if you are a fan of Sci-fi and/or Ridley Scott films.
But there was a lot of bad that really dragged the movie down. Poor screen play, bad casting, and non-existant character development. Many of the scenes were good; but too many scenes throughout the movie were just plain stupid.

I don't think this board really ever had an opinion on it before.

It was all right. I just had high expectations, and I was disapointed. There were too many loose ends, and the actions of some of the characters seemed unmotivated. I thought the robot was especially bad about this. He seemed to do things just to do them with no real ryhme or reason.
