disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (14 June 2012)

I had very high hopes for Prometheus and I think Ridley Scott is one of the best directors ever, but, I saw the 3D version yesterday and I was very disappointed. On a positive note, the visual look of the film is fantastic and atmospheric. Unfortunately, the plot is very weak and insufficient work is done to develop the characters. I have a lot of questions:- 1. What was David's role/ motivation on the mission and why did he infect Charlie? 2. Why did the script writers use the name Weyland (again) - surely he was the rich guy in Alien vs Predator? 3. What happened to the atmosphere on the moon? In Promotheus, it was sunny sometimes (but not breathable). In alien it was extremely stormy and harsh all the time! 4. Why were there so many different alien life-forms? 5. What made the humanoid alien become so belligerent when they woke him? 6. Why did Vickers call Weyland 'father' when she had a different family name?
Finally, the ending appeared rushed as if either the film ran out of funding or the script writers couldn't think of anything
I have lots more questions but basically - what a shame! With a different script and the same approach to character development as in ALIENS - it could have been fantastic...........
