Just Ignore the Bro

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2014)

I love this movie. It is packed with great actors and is ultimately a breath of fresh air compared to most contemporary sci-fi pics. Prometheus manages to meld the humanistic with the alien and creepy in a nice way. I felt the HR Giger vibe very much. Also, the casual manner of the scientists and other professionals was believable considering the society of the future in this context; seeing the flip-flop types was believable. I did not care for the character of Dr.Holloway; a self serving, obnoxious alpha male character. Also, the whole "old man makeup" is never a good look. I have no idea why they just didn't use a real "old man" in place of the one they used... weird!
