Really Fun!

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2012)

My rating of 9/10 for this is based on what I expected from a movie in this genre (informally, the "alien/space" genre). I expected a long setup, lots of running, screaming, slime, gross deaths and violent parasites, few survivors, etc. The way Prometheus delivered all of that (and more, honestly) was really great.
Normally I don't watch this genre. I know exactly one other space movie (and it doesn't even have aliens) that I like. Prometheus has just joined that short list.
I thought the characters were good for the kind of movie it was (character development is not meant to happen, not really). I especially loved Elizabeth, David, Charlize Theron's character, and the pilot. They all did a great job of implying back stories.
All in all, the setup was much more interesting than I expected and the movie moves along at a good pace. It didn't feel like a 2 hour movie, and I appreciated that. I would watch it again.
