Everybody's entitled to an opinion... But

Having just seen the trailer, and finding it somewhat intriguing, I came here to see if others have yet seen the film, and their take on it. Yeah, to me, it seems like it clearly draws inspiration from films like The Thing and Alien. It may be a complete rip off... Or could be a mildly original film... Either way, it doesn't make it a good or bad film. What annoys me is reading the ONE review of the film. A 1/10 star rating from a person who blatantly states he hasn't even seen the film, nor has any intention of doing so... Isn't that what these message boards are for. Reviews are to review the film, not to state whether or not we have any interest in seeing it. On the other side, 155 people have rated it 7.7 on average... How many of them have actually seen the film? Are people rating a film based on the trailer alone? Seriously? Doesn't that in and of itself defeat the purpose of the rating system? Obviously, we won't have any definitive idea of how people felt about this movie until its release, but what exactly is the purpose of rating a movie you haven't seen? Your rating or reviews should be based on your opinion of the film itself, not the trailer, or the plot, or the cast. Now, I can already dismiss Maddog-50's bulls**t review, aside the fact of admitting he hadn't seen it, but for giving every film, with the exception of Slither, a 1 star rating. The fact that he rated movies Battleship and The Day the Earth Stood Still the same as Inception, Skyfall and The Avengers just shows that he has a lack of taste... But if you aren't going to bother watching a film, don't rate or review it. Go blast it on the message boards like everyone else.
