A great movie with a few adaptable weak points

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2012)

Prometheus is a great sci-fi movie, not an action or horror movie. Going in to it I thought it would be a horror movie like alien, but it is not. I also thought it would be a prequel which in a way it was, but it was also its own movie. Like some examples of it being a prequel is at the end, they Show how the xenomorphs or "aliens" (as they were called in the alien movies) were created. Also the ship in the original Alien movie was rounded like the alien ships in Prometheus, and there is an alien in that ship that has its stomach exploded. That alien is the same as the engineer aliens in Prometheus. The crew is the dumbest crew I have ever seen in a movie, at one point they open the ship to a crew member who has been missing . The guy comes in and kills 3 guys and then the crew members kill him. That was a pointless action scene. Afterwards the crew doesn't even talk about it. Stuff like that happens but that still doesn't stop the movie from being great. I think the morale of the story is that the scientist did not find there answers, so we didn't get our answers. What I mean is that a lot of the story was not explained about the engineer aliens because the scientist did not find out a lot about them. All in all this is a great sci-fi movie and I recommend it to sci-fi fans and fans a of the alien movies.
