I'm kind of surprised how well this film worked with Scott at the helm
especially after his abhorrent Alien sequels - and alas, he's making another one.
I'd say Scott needs to take a long, long break from sci-fi and focus on films like this one - given how crappy his Alien sequels are and how well this film worked out.
Or he should get decent writers for the follow-up alien films, because the writers he's been using are utter crap.
