Pro-LAME-us

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2012)

A more appropriate title to this crapfest would be "Pro-LAME-us". Ridley Scott's prequel to his highly successful Alien franchise is just pure rubbish. A team of explorers venture to a far away planet in hopes of finding the answers to the origins of mankind. Believing that the secrets to the origins of mankind have been mapped out in ancient cave drawings, an aging gazillionaire has ponied up $1,000,000,000 (One Trillion) to fund this expedition.
Two scientists on board the Prometheus, adamant believers that humankind is direct decedents of this alien race, have been selected to head the team into the alien fortress. As our researchers continue to scourer the alien fortress in hopes to make "first contact" it becomes quite apparent that some huge catastrophe has taken place at this site almost 2,000 years prior.
The team comes in contact with a room filled with cylindrical containers, filled with organic matter. And is in the previously films, they are far too stupid to leave these containers alone, and after nearly 62 minutes of watching this long drawn out film, we finally get some action. However, it's too little too late.
The film trudges along at a snail's place, and Ridley Scott brings nothing new to this film. All the common elements are here: (1) the crew is to stupid not to know that alien snake-like creatures might attack, (2) if a company pays $1,000,000,000 for an expedition, there might be ulterior motives involve, and (3) NEVER TRUST THE CYBORG!!!!! I hated this film, it's an atrocity to the franchise (and I thought Alien 4 was about as bad as it could get); however, I WAS WRONG!!!!!! Avoid this film at all cost, or you will be just pissing your hard earned money away!!!!!! Trust me on this one!!!! And please DO NOT get me started on the ending!!!!!!
