The riddler

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2012)

People are saying that Scott has lost his ability to make good films apart from "the craft".
I understand the point, but Prometheus is a very good film in its own way.
Watching it is a little like being slapped in the face. You hope for all kinds of developments, but nothings happens and at the end you are forced to piece the information together that you've got.
It is enough information though.
At the core there's of course the clash of giant people and giant squids.
Well, what kind of metaphors are that? I think one gets the idea, systems are usually equated with octopuses and the like, whether it's tax revenue or something else.
Something else... something else... what might that be? Looks innocent at first, wrestles itself around your arm, if you resist it breaks it and at the end comes the beheading.
"Big things have small beginnings." Says who? Where and when? And what answer does he get? So, I think it's a very good film after all. There's hardly talk about this clash elsewhere. Does humanity prevail or do we fall victim to systems that are stronger than ourselves? And don't complain. What's better to wake you up, than being slapped in the face?
