A great movie plagued by the stupidity of the crowds

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2013)

After the constant flood of movies dumbed down for the audience where everything is delivered chewed up and in small crumbs for the small brains of the average consumer, a film does the opposite of that and gets slammed by dumb teenagers that can't get a simple clue. What we can see the most in these immensely stupid reviews are "plot holes" being pointed out all the time. I don't know who introduced this term to these people, but it's a disgrace on the intelligence of the viewers. They don't know what a plot-hole is, they can't understand that a plot-hole is when something in the movie contradicts another pre-established thing. Leaving things open for the closing arc, the end of the chapter, that's called a cliffhanger and it's used in all works of fiction in the world. These guys simply didn't get, even though the movie made it clear several times that this is the introduction and not the conclusion. It's like watching a couple of episodes of LOST and raging about how nothing makes sense and those are all plot holes because he's too idiot to understand that the reveal haven't happened yet.
If you see anyone talking about the huge plot holes in this movie, please ignore it, they are mentally insufficient to understand subtle elements of storytelling. There are no more than one or two plot holes in the whole thing, all the rest is ambiguous for the viewer logic to put together or to wait for the upcoming conclusion. I could easily understand every single mentioned problem and gap by these "critics" by watching the movie twice without knowing anything about it before. If you didn't get something, watch again or look for explanations in this marvelous giant library called internet where we can get all the information we want. But whatever you do, don't make a review saying one writer is dumb, or that Ridley Scott went nuts, or even that this is the new Star Wars Prequel of the Alien Universe. Don't do it because you'd be passing yourself for the most dumb demographic of movie audiences and you'll pollute any site or forum with this stupidity. To all who said: "duh, this doesn't make sense", yes it does make sense, everything in the movie is completely well established, set up and paid off. Go read more and try to get used to not being treated like a baby by the directors and writers.
Prometheus is one of the best sci-fi works ever made. It combines classic elements of horror and still create a greater scheme, a bigger plan of epic proportions, without coming off as the bland boring giant battles of CGI that the rest of current movies does. Every single scene is set up for something, every visual in the movie has a reason, nothing is a waste of time to fill in, this is hardly appreciated as much as it should. The world here is more believable than any huge blockbuster could create. The lightning is amazing in every shot, the scenes with David tends to have the best examples. If you enjoy not being treated like a moron and actually not having everything laid down nicely to you, then you'll enjoy this movie.
It's a wonderful work about evolution and origins, with allusions and subtle points about how life is created, it evolves, it fails so it can try a different approach and maybe work, until finally you have a biological masterpiece. True Alien fans won't be disappointed.
