Poor Script

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2012)

Brilliantly filmed but very poor script. There was no story. No Plot. The Special Effects cannot compensate for the illogical narration. The Scientists who explore the planet are no scientists. They are a bunch of irresponsible school children. They remove their helmet like teenagers would do to their clothes when they are hiking and find a beautiful lake. Would they? Smart ones will not. What if there is a Loch Ness monster or some other creature lurking in the depths. Besides removing their helmets in an alien planet to 'breathe in the fresh air' our Promotheus scientists poke their fingers into alien 'gel', try to act like pals with creatures they have never seen before. Should not a scientist be extra cautious when dealing with creatures whose nature, "attitude", habits or whatever is not known or if there is no record? How could these scientists attempt to become friendly as if they are trying to feed a deer in your back yard park. Bah,Bah. Like that creature in Jurassic Park that opens its wings and fangs this creature reveals "its true colors" sending our two idiotic scientists to their grave. There is that scene wherein Elizabeth has a major abdominal operation in "Manual" mode. Moments after the operation, after her muscles are stapled she is seen walking out of the operation theater. When did the healing occur? Ridiculous scenes like this abound in this movie. But in spite of the stupidity you will not have the urge to leave the theater because of the special effects which, to admit, is spectacular. However I will not watch this movie again because of the plot (or lack of it).
