Great game in its own right that resembles a cult classic.

My go-to game. Rich AF, tons of things to do, the most advanced ES world so far, highly immersive. People at ZOS love their game and it shows.

Starts as a banger, gets tedious so fast. And of course, it's the Russians/Ukrainians fiddling with the WW3 threat - just another overused, worn-out cliché. It tries to be clever and serious, but it comes off as borderline naive, despite the high budget and AAA production. I actually found it annoyingly pretentious. The pacing is terrible. The editing feels like it's made for the trailers and the plot moves way too fast to fully immerse in. Add music on that list that plays almost non-stop to add more drama to the already chaotic atmosphere. This is one of those rare films I quit after 55 minutes. I just couldn't care less about the plot or paper thin characters. Besides Interstellar, I guess I'm just not a fan of Nolan's work.

I want a time machine to get my 116 minutes back and unwatch this. It starts quite promising actually, but not for long. The moment those eggs are found on that planet/structure it starts to look very naive and predictable. From a scientific/nature standpoint, this Alien life makes no sense, not even as a fiction. It basically waits endlessly for a host... anything to appear deep in a hole. That 'anything' needs to be powerful and curious enough to severely poke it to be awaken. Once it opens, it magically finds the face behind the astronaut suit, breaking the hard glass, but keeping the man alive in a coma. I guess it's a very common thing for an alien life it did for generations. Somehow the rest of the crew managed to pull the unconscious man from that deep hole and out of the structure, back to the ship. And it was just a single hatch, other eggs happily remained there for another eternity, nevermind theother two spacemen being busy for hours. Blame it on a bad fertility rate. And that was while this film still kept any sense. The rest of the plot gets much worse - one by one all spacemen fall like toy soldiers, chasing the speedy Alien with metal teeth alone, armoured with a cigarette or a torch (!) in a closed tunnel, where, to anyone's surprise - Alien waited! No! Poor Alien gets some existential crisis as the other guy forgets about it entirely for a lost kitty that magically stayed alive and awake while they were in hibernation during flight. So much for Alien being sophisticated. Kitty for the win. This won't be the last time kitty enters the plot. It's there when Sigourney abandons the critical mission to search for her again. Forget Alien, shuttle, blowing up the ship or rest of the guys, kitty is more important. At this stage I felt sorry for Alien. Overall, the film is beyond naive, totally predictable and bases everything on a shock value. As an early sci-fi horror, it has some moments, choreography, good props and closeups, spawning from a body scene. But to be at the 2nd place for best ever Sci-fi movies of all time - like no effing way. I usually find something to hold in the movies. But this one is beyond hope. I had more fun writing this review than watching it.

This is a nice continuation of the story that started so long ago. This film isn't made to be funny as the first two, but that wasn't the point - it's heartfelt and genuine, embracing change in the face of the ever changing world and latest events. It's the essence of Greece and Greek spirit that I felt on myself many moons ago. Their people are truly like that, especially islanders, it's not exaggerated at all. They also DO care for immigrants, in fact I haven't seen a country and its people that cared so much for those in need. If you love Greece, Greeks and their spirit, this film is highly recommended. You will laugh, but also cry a bit. I'm happy the spirit remains in spite of everything that has happened in the world for the last 20 years.

Best film I watched in years! Can't wait to see it again in imax theatre.
