If you're at all a fan of the Alien series, then Prometheus will really piss you off. That, and it's a pretty terrible movie aside from that. Leaves nothing to the imagination, forcibly shoves its quasi-spiritual/philisophical plot down your throat all while treating the viewer as if they're retarded (I.e. by spelling out every last little stupid detail), and then posing/answering a slew of questions that no Alien fan gives a shit about, but completely ignoring any unanswered questions that they do have. Scott kept insisting that it was NOT going to be an alien prequel, and I wish he had told the truth. It was entirely a prequel and entirely crap. Just sayin'. |

Oh, yeah I'm a fan! Sounds pretty disappointing, but I'll have to rent it or something to see for myself. |

Being in the non-Alien viewing minority (I KNOW I KNOW, they're on my to-watch list!!), I saw Prometheus and thought it was an alright movie. The ending definitely left me with some "wtf...?" questions and from what I know of the Alien origins it seems to contradict some things but I'm not entirely positive. In my opinion it wasn't a horrible movie, but not something to rush out and see. There was many points of the movie where I found myself questioning character motives, but maybe that's what Scott was going for. |
