I usually end up liking movies if I go in with low expectations. This one did not deliver. I thought Prometheus was somewhat engaging and I love the first two Alien movies, but this one is on par with Alien 3 and Resurrection, that is: not memorable. The characters were too feverishly developed and behaved in idiotic fashions. The plot was a rehash of the previous movies. Michael Fassbender's acting and his character were the redeeming qualities of this film. If you're an Alien franchise or Ridley Scott fan, it might be worth watching on video but I don't think it's worth it to pay full ticket price.
