It has a big setup but weak payoff.
I'm not sure who this movie is for tbh, or even why it was made.
Only thing going for it is the Direction and production values - script is fuckin' weak and the trailers give pretty much everything away.
I'll watch it, even though I do not need to.
Just hope Ridley Scott doesn't screw up bladerunner, because this'll get panned.

Saw it at a screening on Tuesday, beautiful (particularly liked the opening credits, they really show off the 3D), but it lacks pace, and much of it lends nothing to the plot, it remains a series of set pieces that fail in the end to be properly scary (a couple of jumps). If you know your art history there are images everywhere, from Blake's drawings, to sculpture, Athlete Wrestling with a snake by Lord Leighton and Rodin's gates of hell (a good sign that I was bored). It certainly doesn't have the drama of the first one.
I love that Swedish girl from Millenium movies (girl with the dragon tattoo etc.) - not in this especially, just saying I love her, and Idris Elba (stringer bell in the Wire) is great even though his part is too small imo.
I enjoyed it kind'a, but the trick is not minding that it stank!
Here is a conundrum for you that says it all - (a bit of serendipity it came from countdown just a few minutes ago)

More interested in the new James Bond movie, personally. Ever since David Craig started playing Bond, I've left the movie feeling like there was blood, grit, and bone fragments that I needed to sweep off of me. It will be awesome. |

Since it is Ridley Scott, yes there will be sex. Or more accurate term would be "Surprise Sex". I watched prometheus and I can say that I am rather impressed.
SPOILERS BELOW
There is "Surprise Sex" and Immaculate conception, Peter Weyland playing a large part in the film. This predates the "Weyland Mittani" corporation, in this timeline the Mittani corp that has the predator tech from AVP is hinted at but not in a huge way.
Oh did I mention there is a Autistic Guy called David? Yeah he is really cool, he follows orders and dosent afraid of anything. I think he might be a robot and not actually autistic, maybe both. SpaceJockeys make an appearance and they are all evil and ****, Or are they?.... The Future of GoonSwarm |

I'll watch it regardless because I'm a fan of Ridley Scott and his approach to sci-fi. More so, I'm so much of a fan of the Alien series that I even enjoyed the AVP movies, so clearly I just like anything that adds to that universe. |

One thing that I am honestly not very happy with modern film is that effects take up more and more than story and Prometheus seem to be no exception. |

Well, I think overall Alien was a better film with a more organic feel to it whereas Prometheus was more of a special effects demonstrator, like Avatar. |

In all honesty, Avatar felt like the better film. It was actually more cohesive.
Prometheus has a lot of stuff that didn't need to be there. The 3D was good, but completely unnecessary and never actually used when it might matter. However, the main story thread just didn't make sense - Contradictions and logical fallacies galore.
Somehow it felt like i wasted my money :/ |

I really am torn about Prometheus, on one hand I think I would've enjoyed the film more if it had stood more on its own legs rather than leaning on the Alien franchise because as a sci-fi movie, I found it enjoyable but on the other hand I was disappointed because it is called a prequel.
It wasn't really asted money for me because all things considering the staggering amount of really bad movies out there...
And I disliked Avatar a lot more than Prometheus, Pocahontas in space with space-smurfs... :p

I was left with lots of questions after seeing this film. Imo this was intentional because they will obviously be making a sequel. Ridley Scott said that it would take 2 or 3 more films before the story caught up to the original Alien. |

MAJOR SPOILERS
1) Engineers "create" humanity. When exactly? The first scene showed scotland, not a primordial earth. 2) They intended to kill humanity 2000 years ago. When no one checked in to the engineer homeworld, did no one come and check whether it was actually done? No one of their race missed the people that were gone? 3) What possible reason did Wayland have to be there at all for the movie to work? Talking to the engineer could have worked without him, possible even better. 4) Why did David poison Holloway? He had no directive to do so and endangered his 'father's life by bringing that vase on board in the first place. 5) Why did the engineer act so hostile right off the bat? Feels like a plot contrivance to make them 'the bad guys'. 6) How did Shaw figure out they made the alien plague? 7) How did such a superior race let such a weapon get out of control? Where were the creatures they 'fathered'? 8) Why did they flee INTO the gestation chamber? 9) Why put a gigantic engineer head statue in there? 10) Why bother with a message to lure humanity to a staging area, one they would most likely not even return from? This especially makes no sense as they apparently intended to just fly to earth anyway. 11) They intended to kill off humanity at least 2000 years ago. Why then? How could humans be a threat at that point? 12) Mega facehugger. 13) Why did the facehugger burst out of Shaw instead of Holloway? Why did she get 'pregnant'?
Some of them could be explained i admit, but those explanations would be so contrived and especially unfathomable for a race which surely could not have gotten that far by being horribly inefficient and reckless.
That, and while the idea of the Engineers is awesome, the execution is poor beyond measure.
Honestly, there's nothing that can save this plot... A lot of the movie 'happened' at random, at least it feels like that.
END OF SPOILERS |
