Visually amazing, but still hard to watch

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2012)

I wanted Prometheus to deliver on what the trailers promised us. Everyone did! It delivered in spades in one regard, it is a visually stunning film. However, the poorly constructed story, lack of focus, logic, and continuity act in concert with some lack luster performances to give us Ridley Scott's "MESSterpiece". Scott is like a sculptor attempting to make a visually beautiful cake but somehow forgot that we like to consume the cake, frosting and interior, not just look at it. Without the necessary ingredients, the cake tastes bad no matter it's appearance. Maybe we can look forward to a re-edited version in the future that will make more sense. This film is definitely worth a look, just don't expect what the trailers promise.
