Ubelievably boring

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2017)

The production value of this movie is really great and it has two truly remarkable actors -Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, but that's about all good in the Prometheus in my opinion. The story begins interestingly with introduction to the story and idea of what it's about, but with the first two or three scenes we meet a buch of boring/annyoing characters that have almost no contribution to the story, besides hitting the main points of the first alien movie. When speaking of it, I have to say that the plot is almost identical, but some sequences are unnecessairly added or elongated ruining the whole effect of suspense and horror. I am not scared of horror movies, but the first installments in the series succeeded in creating an atmosphere and building up emotions. The performance of everyone else besides Michael Fassbender is quite unsatisfying, especially with the main protagonist and Charlize, who is alsolutely uselless and her talent is completely wasted in this movie. They've coulded put her as the main character or not use her at all, as at the end the message and the story told would be virtually unchanged. I really have no real explanation for dislike towards this movie; it is probably caused by the fact that I was never dissapointed by a movie as much as I was with this one. There is infinite number of movies that are worse than Prometheus, because it is not a bad movie, however I think it just has left a mark on my mind by being underwhelming in every aspect that its source material was absolutely exceeding. The ending is a confusing mash of something that was meant to explain the origin of alien, that nobody asked for.
