Exciting but not as good as expected

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2012)

Last night I went to see Prometheus (in 2D). I didn't see all the movies in the Alien franchise, just the first one. First of all let me start by saying that there are many resemblances with the 1979 film.The crew of the Prometheus is a bit like the one in Alien.
The movie has an amazing cinematography. Seriously the movie is captured so well. Really a movie to watch on blu-ray. Prometheus is sometimes creepy but never scary, its more a science fiction thriller than a science fiction horror. As for the performances they are not bad Noomi Rapace is great but the best performance of them all is Michael Fassbender as the robot David. I have always been a fan of him , especially after X-Men First Class. But in Prometheus he is so convincing. He reminded me of Haley Joel Osment in A.I. but even better.Charlize Theron is playing the perfect bitch. As a response to early reviews I think the script wasn't that bad. If there is one thing that disturbed me was the make-up for Guy Pearce, he plays an old man and his make-up was HORRIBLE just like Armie Hammer in last year's J.Edgar.
For the first 50 minutes the movie is kinda slow and nothing really 'good' is happening but after that the movie gets exciting and has a a lot of action. There is one particular scene that is disgusting but fun and a huge homage to Alien . The ending scene is amazing and certainly for Alien fans. I now understand why Ridley Scott always said why this is not a direct prequel. Prometheus is great ,creepy,and the special effects are really good. Really not the best film but still entertaining.
