What's all the hate about?

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2016)

I don't know about anyone else, but I LOVED Prometheus. And really loved. For me it was almost as good as Alien, honestly, and despite what everyone's saying, it was a great prequel.
It was exhilarating, intense, with some amazing visuals and great moments. The squid alien abortion scene is really disgusting but at the same time probably my favourite bit of the film. The weird snake thing that breaks that guy's arm and slithers into his mouth is awesome too. The ending gave me goosebumps, but I won't spoil it. The scene at the beginning is a bit confusing honestly, but it's still quite cool. All the horrific alien scenes really are special, and they are what makes me give this film a 9/10.
The plot was a bit weird and flawed at times, and sometimes the acting and script wasn't the greatest. Why is a scientist depressed because he just discovered alien life? Why did David try to kill someone? Why did the Engineer drink the black goo in the first place? And why does anyone care that Weyland is Vickers' dad? Why does that change anything? But what the film did do was keep me interested the entire time. The whole film was very fun and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
All in all, very very good. One of my favourite sci-fi films in fact. 9/10 !
