Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2012)

"The perfect combination of a thriller, horror and sci-fi movie" is what comes to mind, after watching this movie. What didn't surprise me, after watching the movie, was all the bad reviews on IMDb. With all due respect, if you are a huge Alien 1,2,3 fan, you will be utterly disappointed by this movie. It seems that people who aren't really into the Alien films were amazed by this movie, while the Alien fans, in particular, were very disappointed and gave this movie low ratings, like 4/10, despite its great plot.
Personally, I am not extremely into the Alien series, although I think they are quite good. For this reason, I chose to not focus on the story enveloping the Alien films, and rather focus on the aspects of the movie.
To begin with, I loved the scenery in this movie, and some of the shots shade some directors completely. The shots of the waterfall, the planet, the inside of the ship, and the ruins on the planet are shot and displayed in a very great way, and for this we have to respect Ridley Scott. Most of the reviews managed to add how Ridley has "forgotten most there is to know about movies", but I disagree. He's still talented, and Prometheus was some incredible work, from his part.
The scenes in the beginning, where David is walking around on the ship, learning more about human technology, science and history is really good. I loved how they toned down that he was also studying the alien language. This gives us some sense of feeling that something mysterious is down on that planet. The actors chosen for each role were respectable, and Michael Fassbender in the role of David was a particularly good choice. The acting was incredible, and believable from all the actors, except for Guy Pearce who didn't manage to play his role as a power-obsessed, rich, businessman very well.
Although this movie is filled with random decisions made by the crew, and unanswered questions, I liked the movie very well, and found it very exciting from beginning to end. I would recommend watching this strongly, and would pass it on to a friend. A 8/10 from me.
