Left feeling robbed

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2012)

Bit late I know but i'm still annoyed about this film a few months later so felt the need to review.
I went to see it in 3D IMAX, fully expecting it to look amazing, and yeah, there were a couple of scenes when I did utter the word 'wow' and grabbed at the CG symbols floating a few inches in front of me but that was about it. Those couple of scenes did not in anyway make up for this train-wreck of a film. Hardly ever is a film so expected to be great thats its probably no shock it doesn't live up to expectation. all the characters where shallow and two dimensional. The only stand out performance was the wonderful Michael Fassbender who was really wasted.
Not once did I jump or hide behind my fingers. To say this is part of the Alien anthology is just a plain insult. the brilliance of Alien and Aliens (started to get a bit shabby after those two)was the wonderful Sigourney Weaver as the independent and strong yet basically normal woman pitted against a truly terrifying adversary who rises to the occasion where all others fail due to her brains and innate understanding of the Alien creature.
Prometheus lacks this most pivotal and basic need of any successful terror-type film - to feel the fear of the character, and to live the moments with them.
I couldn't have cared less what happened to any of the characters and the ridiculous slightly religious connotations of the creation of not just the aliens (you know what I mean) had me rolling my eyes and wishing to leave early.
I give this 4 just for Fassbender and the occasional effects, but I wouldn't even bother renting this film, wait until its free on TV.
