If you're expecting Ridley Scott's Alien...

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2012)

... do not go see Prometheus. The storyline is pretty much a joke, the character development is very shallow, the action sequences are highly predictable, and the list goes on. What we kept thinking all through the movie was: what was on Ridley Scott's mind when he agreed to do this? Is he really getting too old to make a Good Movie? I'm not much of a writer, but frankly: even I could have come up with a better script. Take Alien, mix it with any dumb action movie made in the past 10 years, throw in some faux Kubrick, served by good to great actors in bad roles and you get Prometheus. Thankfully we still have Alien, which remains one of the best movies ever made. Unfortunately, Prometheus is to Alien what a Happy Meal is to an exquisite dinner at a three star restaurant.
