Confused? No. Unsure? Absolutely

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2012)

The tone and tension of this highly anticipated film is so very different from any Alien film made to date. This really gives the audience the sense that this is a stand alone film with different ideas and a different approach in many different ways. This is especially true later into the film.
From the start no time is wasted on having the audience knowing who is who and what the general goal is for most of the main cast. After this the film keeps a steady pace and it keeps asking questions for which you are so involved at this point, you can not wait to find out the answers. Unfortunately some of the answers do not come and the ones that do you a left with asking yourself 'why did they do it like that?' and 'it would have been better if this happened.' The film takes a path which is based on mythos and big questions with a couple of actions scenes which just felt thrown in for the sake of it, which were not anything special either.
The more I write about the points I felt were a negativity in the film the more Im thinking I should put it down a star... but this flick does have it's good aspects though. The sfx were really fantastic although the 3D was poor and irrelevant like most 3D films. This obviously gave the film a dark back light and I was definitely wishing I had seen the 2D version but hey I was too late for that showing so what can you do? The cast were solid and It was a pleasant surprise to see Rafe Spall with a minor part as well as that creepy fellow from a lonely place to die. Noomi Rapace had a solid performance once again and Logan Marshall-Green put in a good performance too, even if he did feel like a poor mans Tom Hardy (Kind of like how Dennis Quaid is to Harrison Ford).
Michael Fassbender on the other hand had the stand out performance and every new role he has he just looks better and better. Fassbenders performance is one of the real qualities of the film which also reminds you that this is set in the same 'Universe' which held Riply and a whole lot of Xenomorphs (Aliens).
Ridley Scott's Prometheus is not without it's flaws but none the less this is a good watch and definitely one to see at the Cinema. I give it 6/10 because it is better than average but not particularly great but let's hope we get a Director's cut to answers a few more of those questions. So go see it even if you do leave feeling, not disappointed, but unsure.
