Great visual but film doesn't grab you.

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2012)

Ridley Scott can definitely provide a film with great visuals. Everything in terms of costumes, sets, cgi etc is exceptional but that doesn't disguise the fact the film just does not get you to care for the story or the characters.
His previous Alien film had you on the edge of your seat and cared for every single character in the movie...terrifying film.
Prometheus though just has you feeling a bit empty at the end of the film and its just OK. The characters don't engage you, and you're not bothered what happens to them. Plot holes a plenty but I won't spoil it. You will want to watch it if you are a fan but I doubt it be one of those films that you will watch again and again...it will be forgotten quickly.
I think the film suffered from all the pre-hype it had before release and expectations were probably too high.
