Prometheus, portentous more like it.

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2012)

Have to say ever since I seen the first trailer for this movie I thought this would be the top summer movie...Well what a disappointment. Like most I was expecting a Clever thought provoking sic fi epic. What we got was a mess. The movie pretended to be about the origins of our life and why we are here. Epic questions or what....But that's where the epicness ends. The plot if u can find one revolves around a set of foolish scientists doing everything possible to ensure mayhem and death follows them. The film played more like a horror movie than a sic fi. Unsettling stomach dissections, heads bursting &head ripping. I know suspense is important but if you're gonna set the premise up for such big questions the audience deserves some answers. There aren't any and what you get instead are excuses for nods to the old Alien movies. It seems like Ridley Scott felt left out at the blockbuster stakes and tried to come up with something. He has, a mess of a movie and a disappointing taste in the mouth. The film ended suggesting a sequel. I'd imagine it would be to explain the so many un answered questions of this movie. If that's what it set out to do then that's why this movie felt so pointless and unfulfilling.
