I never thought aboutbit, bit you are right. The other scenes, the one with the automated turrets, and especially the one where Rioley learns of her daugjter's death, are great.
What the first scene shows so, is that Hadley's Hope was a nice and striving colony. So one could make the case that it served a purpose.
- dylan604 3y agoi didn't think that opening scene was a negative as a scene in general, but the GP did specify as the opening. so maybe it does have a negative affect being the opening scene, but possibly could work as a flashback if you're not opposed to the flashback device in general
- magicalhippo 3y agoYeah I think it could have worked if they used it way later in the movie, after the aliens have been discovered, but as the opening shot it completely ruins the mystery and tension the movie tries to build. That said I don't think it would have added much over all, so unlike the other scenes I'd say just drop it.
