Old school stuff from the master. Forget the haters!

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2012)

I almost believed the IMDb haters, and I delayed this title till last night.So wrong to read what some people think about cinema in place like this. This is good stuff from Ridley. It's intense and visually stunning compared with lots of crappy new generation movie in these days. Some people like stupid nonsense sophistication, thank God Ridley is still human enough to deliver great sci fi in old style manner. Great vision, great design, great suspense, no silly unbelievable cartoon situation. The story is simple and has the same ingredients like first two aliens movies, men vs dark hostile places in Universe, nothing new here, but I don't care. Is still a great premise for a good movie, and this is what Prometheus is. No fields with millions of Predators and Aliens here, no poor CGI animation, no useless dialogues about nothing. This is serious. An updated classic style of a great cinema genre. Still ahead of many dull movies you see today. Even if this isn't something new like the first Alien was in '79, is still enough to trash two decades of sci fi garbage in oblivion. In fact this is the whole point here: return to simplicity is still a great exercise, a great source, in making good movies. I wait for a Blu-ray version now, it's a keeper!
